IRAN SAYS US STRIKES RENDER CEASEFIRE MEANINGLESS Iran said US strikes into Thursday were more intense and widespread, with Tehran offering limited damage details while claiming retaliatory attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. It marks the third escalation this week involving Iran, Israel, and the US across regional bases. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the US actions have made the ceasefire “meaningless,” though it did not formally announce its withdrawal from the agreement.
