Middle East crisis live: Trump increases pressure on allies over strait of Hormuz; Israel says it still has thousands of targets' in Iran
"We still have thousands of targets in Iran, and we are identifying new targets every day. We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now. And we have deeper plans for even three weeks beyond that."
"Tehran claims it has ample evidence that US military installations on neighbouring territory are being used as launch points for the ongoing campaign of airstrikes. In response to the offensive, Iran has continued to threaten the vital strait of Hormuz."
Israel's military continues targeting Iran with thousands of identified objectives, with operations coordinated with US allies planned for at least three weeks through Passover and extending further. Iran responds by threatening the vital Strait of Hormuz and warns neighboring nations against involvement in the expanding regional conflict. Tehran claims evidence that US military installations on neighboring territory serve as launch points for airstrikes. The escalating maritime crisis prompted discussions between Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding international coalition efforts to secure the waterway. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged other nations to avoid actions that could escalate the conflict.
