Since the conflict began on February 28, a total of 16 American soldiers have died. In recent days, Iranian forces have launched missiles and drones targeting U.S. military installations and vital infrastructure in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. A Kuwaiti oil facility was attacked, along with power and water stations, with Kuwaiti authorities accusing Iran of targeting critical infrastructure. Bahrain's military reported that its air defenses thwarted Iranian missiles and drones.

Khamenei asserted that the U.S. attacks demonstrate that a U.S. president's signature is worthless. Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military advisor to Khamenei, cautioned that Iran would launch extensive offensive operations if U.S. attacks continued. The conflict reignited after Iran attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global transit route for oil and gas, which Iran had previously blockaded.

The signature of the American president is worthless.

According to Iran's Ministry of Health, 50 people have been killed and over 500 injured since the fighting resumed. Iran accuses the United States of attacking an airport, railway stations, bridges, and energy infrastructure. Hopes for a peaceful resolution have diminished despite mediation efforts by various countries attempting to bring the parties back to the negotiating table.
