US Strikes Over 90 Iranian Military Sites Overnight; Iran ‘Begging’ for Deal as Trump Warns of Escalation
US forces struck more than 90 Iranian military sites overnight, the White House says. President Trump claimed Iranian leaders called him “begging” for a peace deal after the second night of bombardment. This escalation follows earlier US-Israeli attacks that hit senior regime figures and reportedly injured the Supreme Leader’s son. Iran responded by targeting American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain after alleged ship bombings in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump shared footage of the strikes on social media and warned that any further aggression would be met with “much worse” punishment. He described Iran’s regime as a “bully” and threatened to shut down oil routes if attacks continue. US Central Command reported hitting air defence systems, coastal surveillance, missile and drone storage sites, naval assets, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s southern coast. The renewed conflict shattered a fragile ceasefire and sent global oil prices soaring.
