The United States said it stepped up strikes on Iran to unprecedented levels today. Both sides have threated to escalate a conflict that has reached the two-week mark.

Earlier today, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a briefing at the Pentagon that the campaign is “on plan to defeat, destroy, disable all of their meaningful military capabilities at a pace the world has never seen before.”
