Iran fires on targets across Mideast while Israel and US hit Tehran as war shows no signs of slowing

Iran fired on targets across the Middle East while American and Israeli airstrikes hit the Islamic Republic as the war neared the end of its fifth week unabated. The U.N. Security Council was preparing to meet Saturday over Tehran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has helped send global oil prices soaring. Despite claims from the U.S. and Israel that Iran’s military capabilities have been all but destroyed, Tehran has continued to keep the pressure on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors and hit both Bahrain and Kuwait on Friday. Strikes were also reported around Tehran and the central Iranian city of Isfahan.
