The war between Iran and the alliance of United States and Israel has entered its second week, with Iranian officials announcing plans to intensify missile attacks while U.S. President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning over threats to oil shipping routes.
A spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Iran would increase missile operations targeting what it described as “enemy military positions” across the region. The statement came as tensions remain high following a series of strikes exchanged between the sides since the conflict began earlier this month.
Officials in Tehran said the escalation was a response to continued military actions carried out by the United States and Israel, which Iranian authorities accuse of launching attacks on key military and strategic sites inside Iran.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump warned that any attempt by Iran to disrupt global oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz would trigger a strong response from Washington. The waterway is one of the world’s most important oil transit routes, and any disruption could have major consequences for global energy markets.
The latest developments come as the conflict continues to expand across the region, raising concerns among international observers about the risk of a broader regional war and further instability in the Middle East.
