US Says It Will Strike ‘ Deeper’ Into Iran As War Spreads Across Region

A US submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.
Turkey says NATO shot down an Iranian missile that was traveling toward its airspace.

US to strike “deeper” into Iran: The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the US will start “striking progressively deeper into Iranian territory,” and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cautioned Americans that it’s “very early” in military operations against Tehran.

Widening conflict: A US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, Hegseth said, and NATO air defense systems shot down an Iranian missile that was passing through the airspace of Iraq and Syria and toward Turkey’s airspace.

Death toll rises: More than 1,000 people have been killed in Iran since the war began, according to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency.

Scramble to evacuate: The US has closed embassies in three countries, reduced its regional diplomatic staffing and warned Americans to leave. The United Arab Emirates said it opened safe air corridors with its neighbors as countries rush to evacuate stranded nationals.
