Iran attacks multiple countries hosting US bases and Israel pounds Tehran

Iran attacks multiple countries hosting US bases and Israel pounds Tehran. The war in the Middle East is raging on, with Iran continuing its attack on the Gulf and intense Israeli airstrikes pounding Tehran and Beirut early on Friday. Iran launched new retaliatory attacks at the end of a full week of bombardment, which US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned was 'about to surge dramatically'. The Islamic Republic had vowed the US would 'bitterly regret' torpedoing one of its warships as it sent hundreds of drones and missiles at its Arab neighbours.
