Tensions in the ongoing Iran–US conflict sharply escalated after a senior Iranian security official warned former US President Donald Trump to “be careful not to get eliminated,” responding to his threats of massive retaliation. Trump had warned Iran of “death, fire and fury” if it disrupts oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the day could see the most intense wave of American airstrikes yet, targeting Iranian weapons facilities and military infrastructure. The war, which has already hit thousands of targets and disrupted global oil shipments, continues to widen across the Middle East with both sides exchanging threats and attacks. (PC: X)
