Trump Orders New Wave of Iran Strikes

President Donald Trump ordered a new wave of strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, with bombing possibly beginning this weekend.

Kuwait said it downed Iranian drones as a Qatari-flagged LNG tanker was struck by a missile near Oman, rendering it inoperable.

US embassies across the Middle East urged American citizens to consider departing the region, warning of an “unpredictable” security environment.

Tehran warned that any country assisting the United States risked being “engulfed by the flames of war”.
