Escalation at Sea and in Baghdad: Trump Declares Iran 'Crushed' as U.S. Embassy Air Defences Hit and Kharg Island Struck

A sudden escalation between the United States and Iran has produced deadly U.S. casualties, strikes on Iran's critical oil-export terminal at Kharg Island and claims that the U.S. embassy's air-defence system in Baghdad was destroyed. Tehran has warned it will retaliate against any attacks on its energy and economic infrastructure by striking U.S.-linked facilities across the region.
