US continues strikes on Iran for 11th consecutive night, triggering air defences in Tehran

US forces conducted airstrikes on Iran for the eleventh night in a row, prompting air defense systems to activate in Tehran. President Donald Trump declared he was "not finished" with the conflict, which has already incurred a cost of $37.5 billion for the United States.

The ongoing hostilities, initially focused on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, have escalated and now encompass other critical chokepoints for global oil supplies. The US military reported that its latest attacks targeted "military logistics infrastructure." Iranian state media indicated that strikes occurred around the country, including near Bushehr, a site housing a nuclear power plant.

"News sources reported minutes ago that air defence activity was heard in the west, east and northeast of Tehran," state TV posted on Telegram. As the war approaches its fifth month and with legislative elections in November drawing nearer, Trump faces significant political pressure to end the conflict, which has become increasingly unpopular, even among some of his supporters. Critics have highlighted the substantial financial burden of the war.
