Early Wednesday, the U.S. military concluded its 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, hitting drone storage facilities and aircraft hangars. These ongoing attacks across the region continue to eclipse diplomatic talks in Pakistan aimed at reviving a failed temporary ceasefire.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed (July 21, 2026) that the war with Iran has already cost the United States $37.5 billion, highlighting the significant financial impact of the conflict.

As strikes persisted on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump cautioned that American military action against Iran was not over. Meanwhile, Tehran expanded its regional attacks following threats from its Houthi allies to shut down Saudi Arabian ports.
