Trump says the 'big wave' in war with Iran is yet to come

President Trump says US strikes on Iran are escalating with the most significant phase still ahead, confirming four US service member deaths and over 1,000 targets hit.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump vowed the "big wave" is yet to come in the war with Iran, as the Middle East faces a fourth day of fighting.
  • Iranian strikes on energy facilities have targeted a gas plant in Qatar and an oil refinery in Saudi Arabia, while US officials say leadership remains uncertain after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's killing.
  • Military briefings on Monday showed forces intercepted seven ballistic missiles and five drones, and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said, `I think it's going very well. We've got the greatest military in the world and we're using it.`
  • Sir Keir Starmer said the UK will not join strikes on Iran but will take defensive action in the Gulf and urged about 300,000 British citizens in the Middle East to register for support.
  • Qatar reported that it shot down two SU24 aircraft coming from Iran, while US officials refused to detail operational plans, with Hegseth saying: `No, but we're not going into the exercise of what we will or will not do`.
