Israeli and U.S. forces pounded targets across Iran on Tuesday, prompting Iranian retaliatory strikes around the Gulf as the conflict spread to Lebanon, rattled global markets and sent oil prices sharply higher, Reuters reported.
Four days into the war, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that the U.S. military had struck ​numerous Iranian naval and air targets, saying that "just about everything has been knocked out."
Trump also sought to justify the assault on Iran, saying he had ordered the campaign because he had "a feeling" Iran would attack after negotiations over its ‌nuclear program stalled, according to Reuters.
