00:02This morning, Iran is threatening to strike regional infrastructure if the United States follows through on President Trump's warning to
00:10target bridges and power plants.
00:12The U.S. intensified its campaign early this morning, striking targets farther north and for the first time in this
00:18latest round of fighting, hitting areas around Tehran.
00:21U.S. forces also fired on a ship they say tried to break through the American naval blockade of the
00:28Strait of Hormuz.
00:29Iran responded with missile and drone attacks aimed at U.S. allies Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait, while warning its retaliation
00:36could expand.
00:38At a defense technology event Wednesday, Trump again insisted the U.S. is close to winning the war.
00:44The country is booming and we'll have Iran defeated soon. They'll be defeated very soon.
00:55And then I guess it'll be even better.
00:57Pakistan, meanwhile, says it is keeping talks open with Iran and other regional officials in an effort to revive negotiations
01:05between Washington and Tehran.
01:07A foreign ministry spokesman said the renewed fighting over the Strait of Hormuz serves no one's interests.
