President Donald Trump warns US will hit Iran 'very hard' in coming days | BBC News

US President Donald Trump has said that Iran will be hit "very hard" over the next week, adding "we've already damaged them so badly".

Earlier, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran's new supreme leader is in hiding, "wounded" and "likely disfigured", though these claims are yet to be verified.

Meanwhile, the US has loosened sanctions preventing other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum already loaded on vessels at sea to try to ease the energy supply crunch sparked by the war.

The Israeli military has carried out several waves of air strikes across Lebanon after the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah launched about 200 rockets into northern Israel.

And all six members of a US military refuelling aircraft's crew have now been confirmed dead after it crashed in western Iraq, US Central Command has said.
