Over the past 24 hours, President Trump warned that the U.S. will bomb and destroy bridges or power plants, including facilities near or within Tehran, if Iran launches missiles, rockets, drones, or other weapons at ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to The Washington Post, citing current and former U.S. officials, the Trump administration is also considering military action against Mali to combat JNIM, a group linked to al-Qaeda. If approved, Mali would become the eighth country where Trump has ordered airstrikes during his second term, though senior U.S. officials remain divided on whether to proceed.
