The U.S. closed embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait following drone attacks as Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched retaliatory strikes around the region Tuesday. Israel carried out fresh strikes against high-profile targets in Iran and said it would deploy ground troops deeper into Lebanon, as Hezbollah said its militants targeted Israel with drones. Israel said it bombed Tehran’s Presidential Office and the Supreme National Security Council in an effort to target the Iranian leadership. As the war stretches into its fourth day, the death toll is mounting — and now includes six U.S. service members. President Donald Trump signaled U.S. forces have capabilities to continue striking Iran for “far longer” than the four to five week duration projected by the military.
