Donald Trump threatens further overnight strikes on Iran, signalling a major escalation amid ongoing hostilities and faltering ceasefire efforts.
The former US president vows to seize Kharg Island and other energy assets, aiming to control Iran’s oil and gas markets.
Tehran retaliates with two waves of attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, intensifying regional tensions alongside strained negotiations.
Such moves risk undermining efforts to convert a fragile US-Israeli ceasefire with Iran into a durable settlement.
