Your resilience is amazing; it gives strength to me, to the government, to the IDF, and to the Mossad. We are doing things that I cannot\u2026 at this moment, but we are hitting Iran very hard, even today. Are you telling me to keep going?

The conflict escalated after the United States and Israel carried out joint strikes on Iran last month. The attacks killed Iran&#8217;s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and triggered a wider conflict across the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Iran launched attacks on Israel and on US military bases located in Gulf countries, while Israel and the United States have continued striking Iranian targets. Reports say the war has already killed more than 2,000 people, most of them in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon says US and Israeli forces have struck more than 15,000 targets across Iran since the conflict began. US media have also reported that the Pentagon has deployed the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli to the region along with around 2,500 Marines, as the fighting continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on X after conspiracy theories circulated on social media claiming he had been killed in an Iranian strike.
