US says its firepower will ‘surge dramatically’ and IDF warns of ‘surprises ahead’, as Iran launches retaliatory strikes
Israel and the US have bombarded Iran and Lebanon with a fresh wave of airstrikes and threatened a major escalation in their joint offensive, as Iran retaliated with more attacks across a swath of the Middle East.
Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said US firepower was “about to surge dramatically” with the deployment of more bombers, while Eyal Zamir, the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff, said Israel was moving to a new phase of its offensive that would “further dismantle the regime and its military capabilities”.

On Friday, the seventh day of the spiralling conflict, Tehran launched missiles and drones at Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, apparently targeting US bases and civilian infrastructure including oil pipelines.
We won’t. No need for it. We massively overmatch Iran in conventional capabilities.
You are making a rational argument about an irrational actor, this doesn’t matter to Trump or Stephen Miller.
