The US military says an Israeli airstrike that killed the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Navy “makes the region safer.”Make a deal or face continued US onslaught’ – Trump’s fresh warning to Iran
Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), adds in a statement that every Iranian serving in the IRGC Navy should “abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unnecessary injury or death.” Meanwhile, US-Israeli attacks on Iran show no signs of easing, even as Iranian missiles continue to target parts of Israel, including central and northern regions. In a parallel escalation, Israeli forces have intensified strikes in Lebanon, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying operations are aimed at expanding a “buffer zone” in the south.
The conflict’s impact is also being felt across the Gulf. In Abu Dhabi, falling debris from intercepted missiles has killed two people and injured three. Air defence systems in Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have also been activated to intercept incoming Iranian missiles and drones.
Amid the escalating hostilities, the United Nations has warned of severe global consequences if the Strait of Hormuz—a critical artery for global oil supplies—remains shut for a prolonged period.
