White House officials and U.S. military leaders show no sign of slowing attacks on Iran. The war has quickly transformed the region.

The war widened sharply after a U.S. ​submarine sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing at least 80 people. NATO air defences destroyed an Iranian ballistic missile fired towards neighbor Turkey — the first time the country has been drawn into the conflict.

Asif Merchant testified in his own defense, saying he participated in the plot to protect his family in Iran. Prosecutors reject his account of his motives.

The war between Iran and the United States is rapidly intensifying to include other countries, including Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

A bipartisan resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's ability to wage war in Iran has failed in the US Senate, as the strikes continue. The war powers measure was rejected in a 53-47 vote largely along party lines. It would have halted US military action in Iran without congressional approval.

Karoline Leavitt said Trump and his advisors are discussing the U.S.'s role in Iran after the conflict ends.

Democrats — along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) — forced a vote on the war powers resolution over the opposition of most Republicans, who control the Senate. Democrats implored a handful of Republicans to break with their party to end the conflict and reassert Congress’s control over declaring war.

The strike was one of the deadliest attacks of the American-Israeli campaign against Iran so far. Top Trump administration officials said on Wednesday that they were still investigating whether it was a U.S. airstrike that hit a girls elementary school in Iran on the opening day of the war.
