Iran warned of “broader” and “crushing” attacks after Donald Trump said the US would act “very fast” in the war. In a national address, Trump repeated that the US would finish the job quickly but gave no timeline. Iran’s military said recent US and Israeli strikes were “insignificant”. It added the two countries have “incomplete” information about its capabilities. Global markets reacted with concern. Oil prices rose to $106 a barrel, while Asian stocks fell. The conflict is also dividing people within Iran, with differing views on the war’s impact.
