Iran launched attacks on American bases and allies in the Gulf region on Wednesday in response to U.S. operations along Iran’s southern coast. The Iranian health minister confirmed that these U.S. actions resulted in the deaths of at least 18 people.
At a press briefing, President Trump addressed these developments, noting that the current military campaign would not be prolonged. He issued a warning to Tehran, indicating potential strong retaliatory actions if tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz persisted.
Reporting on this development is Liz Landers, a correspondent for PBS News Hour. She focuses on coverage of the White House and the Trump administration. Before her current role, Landers was a national security correspondent for Scripps News and covered topics related to disinformation. Kayan Taraporevala also contributed to this report as an Associate Producer for PBS News Hour.
