The United States has carried out a third wave of air strikes against Iran, according to reports, in what is described as a major operation lasting around five hours. President Trump reportedly informed Congress that the US is now at war with Iran, marking a significant escalation, with a further attack said to be planned for the same day.

Beyond the extent of the operation, few further details of the strikes—including specific targets, casualties or Iranian response—are given, though Trump is reported to have indicated a possible target for the additional attack. The article does not provide further verified specifics on the scope or justification for the strikes.
