As drones struck the US embassy in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and Tehran replied to continued assaults by targeting US allies in the Gulf, US President Donald Trump issued a warning that his war on Iran may last more than a month. Trump quickly promised to retaliate “soon” without specifying how after two drones struck the US embassy in Riyadh shortly after the US called on Americans to evacuate all Middle Eastern countries from Egypt eastward.
As fighter planes soared above the Iranian capital, AFP correspondents saw new, loud explosions shake windows in Tehran throughout the night. The Pentagon claimed to have gained air control over the nation. Tehran threatened to block one of the most important shipping channels in the world in addition to using missiles and drones to force Qatar’s state-owned energy company to stop producing LNG.About 20% of the world’s seaborne oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway to the Gulf, and Revolutionary Guards General Sardar Jabbari declared, “We will burn any ship that tries to pass through.”
Trump stated that although the battle was “substantially” ahead of schedule, the United States was prepared for a protracted conflict. The war started on Saturday with an attack that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
