US Iran war news LIVE: US attacks Iran for 11th straight night, Iran warns of wider conflict if pickaxe strikes | Today’s news
The US military said it launched an 11th night of strikes against Iran on Wednesday as the two countries vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. Central Command did not immediately say what targets they were targeting in the latest wave, which comes after Trump telegraphed that the attacks would intensify.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said Iranian officials “desperately want to meet. And until they are prepared to meet in a meaningful way, we are not interested in meeting.”
Trump said the US would soon target an area near Pickaxe Mountain – a fortified underground site near one of Iran’s primary nuclear enrichment facilities.
In response, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command said the US had issued threats to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities and other critical facilities.
“It is clearly stated that if the invading and terrorist forces of this nation take such a step, it will be considered an escalation of the conflict in the entire region. In such a case, all US assets, along with those of its allies and supporters, will be subjected to a decisive strike by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the IRNA agency said in a series of posts on X.
