Israel warns it can resume military strikes against Iran
Israel's defense minister warned the country is prepared to resume military strikes against Iran "with even greater force" as the army stands ready to regain air superiority. The United States launched new airstrikes early Thursday, and Iran struck at Middle East countries in a larger exchange that set off sirens in Bahrain and missiles aimed at Kuwait and Qatar. U.S. leaders said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled an end to a fragile ceasefire, raising the risk of a wider regional war and possible disruption to global energy shipments.
