Iran launched new attacks Thursday on Israel, American bases and countries around the region, threatening that the United States would "bitterly regret" torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, according to the Associated Press.
The AP reported that a religious leader on Thursday called for "Trump’s blood." Israel has launched its own attacks, saying it has struck 80 targets in Lebanon linked to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group over the past 24 hours.

The AP also reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the U.S. Navy of committing "an atrocity at sea" for sinking the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean, which killed at least 87 Iranian sailors. "Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret (the) precedent it has set," he said on social media.

US releases explosion footage as Hegseth claims submarine sank Iranian warship
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said a U.S. submarine sank what he described as an "Iranian warship" in the Indian Ocean on March 4.
The war has killed more than 1,000 people in Iran, more than 70 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel, according to officials in those countries.
It has disrupted the supply of the world’s oil and gas, snarled international shipping and stranded hundreds of thousands of travelers in the Middle East.
Here’s the latest from Thursday.

Iranian warship sunk by US had participated in India-hosted naval exercises
6:50 a.m. ET: Indian authorities told the Associated Press that an Iranian warship that was sunk by a U.S. submarine near Sri Lanka had participated in naval exercises hosted by India before heading out into international waters in the Indian Ocean on its way home.
According to the AP, the sinking of the ship Wednesday underscored the spread of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. It also ignited a debate in India about maritime security in the Indian Ocean — a region where New Delhi maintains a significant naval presence.
The Indian government has not yet publicly commented on the incident but opposition leaders questioned its lack of response, the AP added.
Last 2 names of 6 US soldiers killed in Kuwait identified
The Pentagon on Wednesday released the identities of the last two names of the six U.S. soldiers who were killed during an attack in Kuwait: Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien and Robert Marzan.
O’Brien, a resident of Waukee, Iowa, was commissioned into the Army Reserve as a Signal Corps Officer in 2012. He deployed to Kuwait in 2019.
The Pentagon said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Marzan, 54, of Sacramento was at the scene when a drone strike hit the command center in Kuwait and is "believed to be the individual who perished at the scene," according to the statement. A medical examiner will confirm identification, the Pentagon said.
The other soldiers identified Tuesday by the Pentagon were: Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa,; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; and Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska.
Senate votes down Iran war powers resolution
Senate Republicans voted down an effort Wednesday to halt President Donald Trump’s war against Iran, demonstrating early support for a conflict that has rapidly spread across the Middle East with no clear U.S. exit strategy.
The legislation, known as a war powers resolution, failed on a 47-53 vote tally. The vote fell mostly along party lines, though Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against.
The war powers resolution gave lawmakers an opportunity to demand congressional approval before any further attacks are carried out. The vote forced them to take a stand on a war shaping the fate of U.S. military members, countless other lives and the future of the region.
US and Israel attack Iran
The backstory:
On Saturday, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Tehran, and President Donald Trump said the U.S. was starting major combat operations against Iran.
The strikes killed the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several other high ranking officials, throwing its leadership into question and raising the risk of regional instability.
Big picture view:
Trump said there were four objectives for the operations:
- Destroy Iran’s missile capabilities
- Wipe out its naval capacity
- Stop the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon
- "Ensure that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders."
This is the second time in eight months that the Trump administration has attacked the Islamic Republic during talks over its nuclear program.
