Summary
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya command said any US “mistake” would trigger continuous strikes on American bases and interests across the region, after Tehran said Washington was preparing to resume action with support from regional states.
11 US embassies in the Middle East warned of possible travel disruptions after the State Department said fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen could escalate rapidly.
Donald Trump returned early from Camp David to the White House as tensions rose, though the administration gave no reason for the change in schedule.
The warning adds to a widening regional confrontation that already includes a Houthi ballistic-missile attack on Riyadh and a US war bill that has reached $43.6 billion.
