Wider military context

Iran's military said a new war with the United States could last longer than the previous one (Irano kariuomenė: naujas karas su JAV gali trukti ilgiau nei buvęs – LRT). Iran's leader warned of a response that would not be limited geographically to any attack (Irano lyderis įspėja dėl „geografiškai neapriboto atsako“ į bet kokį išpuolį – LRT). Trump was also reported to have spoken with Benjamin Netanyahu about the state of the war (Žiniasklaida: Donaldas Trumpas kalbėjosi su Benjaminu Netanyahu apie karo su Iranu padėtį – LRT).
