Iran-Israel War News Today Live Updates Day 7: Tensions escalated in the Middle East due to violent engagement between Iran and Israel for seventh straight day on Thursday with both the sides exchanging strikes.

“I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” Donald Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn amid a sharp escalation in the Middle East as Israel claimed responsibility for airstrikes on military targets in Tehran, including what it described as Iran’s “internal security headquarters.”
