Iran fires ballistic missiles at joint UK-US base on Diego Garcia while Israel launches attacks in Beirut. The UK has hit back at Iran. Israel defense minister warns attacks will escalate this week. What is $200B even gonna do, this is surely just a start

The UK has hit back at Iran’s reckless attacks after Tehran fired intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the UK-US military base Diego Garcia.

The Ministry of Defence said Iran was holding the Strait of Hormuz ‘hostage’ and its strikes in the Gulf are ‘a threat to British interests and British allies’, after Donald Trump criticised Keir Starmer for not acting more quickly to allow the US to use UK bases to strike Iranian missile strikes targeting the strait.

Overnight further strikes hit areas of Iran and Lebanon, while Tehran also launched attacks against multiple Gulf nations.

On Saturday, Iranian state media claimed that strikes by the US and Israel had hit the nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz, but said no leakage of radiation had been detected.

Meanwhile Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said strikes on Iran will ‘significantly escalate’ this week.

Iran Believes It’s Winning—and Wants a Steep Price to End the War

DUBAI—Three weeks into the war, the Iranian regime is signaling that it believes it is winning and has the power to impose a settlement on Washington that entrenches Tehran’s dominance of Middle East energy resources for decades to come.

This attitude may prove to be a dangerous misreading of President Trump’s determination, or of Israel’s capacity to inflict strategic blows on the Islamic Republic’s surviving leadership and military capabilities.

Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have given mixed signals on how long the war would go on, as they try to talk markets down and keep Tehran guessing. Netanyahu said Thursday that the war would end “a lot faster than people think.” Trump said this week the U.S. would wrap up the conflict in the “near future” even as the Pentagon dispatched thousands of additional Marines to the Middle East.

The problem is, Iran also has a say in when the guns fall silent—and, for now, it seems to think time works to its benefit.
