Iranian state media reports that Tehran has launched another wave of missile strikes at Israel, claiming some penetrated Israeli air defenses. Israel has not confirmed damage but says it retaliated by striking an Iranian missile site. The tit-for-tat escalation intensifies as former US President Donald Trump said, “I may do it, I may not,” when asked about potential US military involvement. He added, “Iran’s got a lot of trouble and wants to negotiate.” Iran’s supreme leader warned of “irreparable harm” if the US joins Israel. Washington has not requested UK base access in Cyprus or Diego Garcia, according to UK officials. (PC: Reuters)
