Iran says fighting 'full-scale war' with US
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that the country is engaged in a 'full-scale war' with the United States as US strikes expanded across Iran, including areas near a nuclear power plant. In retaliation, Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched attacks in Bahrain, Jordan, and Syria, while US strikes targeted military bases and air defense systems in Iranian provinces. The renewed hostilities have led to a surge in oil prices and a reimposition of blockades on the vital Strait of Hormuz.
