War with Iran: President Donald Trump told CNN the “big wave” of the US attack on Iran is yet to come. Trump laid out his war objectives for reporters, saying he wanted to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, annihilate its navy, end its nuclear ambitions and stop it arming militant groups.
• On the ground: Iran and its proxies are continuing to strike US allies in the Gulf, with the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia hit by suspected Iranian drones, booms heard in Iraq and sirens sounding over Bahrain. Israel, meanwhile, is striking Hezbollah targets in Beirut.
• Americans warned: The US State Department urged US citizens to leave the Middle East immediately. Trump told CNN “the biggest surprise” of the war has been Iran’s attacks against Arab countries in the region. Iran’s foreign minister said the “American people deserve better and should take back their country,” mirroring Trump’s repeated remarks to Iranians.
