Iran war live updates: Regime issues threat against protesters; US ‘destroyed’ mine-laying ships near strait of Hormuz
AI Summary
Recent developments indicate escalating tensions involving Iran, the US, and Israel. Iran launched missiles toward Israel, targeting military bases and a satellite communications center, while claiming to target US interests in Iraqi Kurdistan and Bahrain. In response, the US military reports destroying 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. Domestically, Iran's police chief has threatened to treat protesters as "enemies." Public opinion polls in the US show significantly lower support for military action against Iran compared to previous conflicts, potentially due to political polarization and a desire to avoid further wars. Analysts suggest previous presidents took more time to "sell wars to the public," accounting for the difference in opinion over this conflict.
