US President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social about the potential expansion of military targets in Iran as the conflict with the country, along with Israel, entered its second week. Trump mentioned considering areas and groups not previously targeted due to Iran’s behavior but did not specify these new targets.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring Gulf countries for the attacks during the conflict but emphasized that Iran’s actions were defensive. He expressed a willingness to resolve issues through diplomacy but rejected Trump’s call for unconditional surrender.
Despite Pezeshkian’s apology, the conflict continued with Israeli forces conducting widespread strikes in central Iran and Lebanon. The situation escalated with missile interceptions reported across the Gulf, leading to disruptions in regional transport and energy markets.
Trump is set to attend a ceremony for six US service members killed in the conflict at Dover Air Force Base. The conflict began with US-Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites, prompting retaliatory attacks from Iran on Israel, US interests, and Gulf states hosting American bases.
