Israel and the U.S. have intensified their bombardment of Iran’s security forces and other symbols of power. Tehran has vowed to completely destroy the Middle East’s military and economic infrastructure. These are all indications that the war was nowhere near over and risks expanding further. In addition to striking Tehran on the fifth day of the conflict, Israel hit the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon on Wednesday. Iran fired on Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel. As the conflict spiraled, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said NATO defenses intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran before it entered Turkey’s airspace. The tempo of the strikes on Iran was so intense that state television announced the mourning ceremony for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
