00:24Fresh satellite imagery is adding a
00:27dramatic new twist to the rapidly
00:30escalating conflict in West Asia.
00:32Images now appear to confirm that an
00:35aircraft hangar at King Faisal Air Base
00:38in Jordan was hit during the latest
00:40Iranian strikes.
00:42Iran claims the target was a USAF F-15
00:46maintenance hangar.
00:47According to Tehran, the attack destroyed
00:50multiple MQ-9 Reaper drones that were
00:53reportedly in storage, damaged helicopters,
00:56and even caused American casualties.
00:59So far, there has been no official U.S.
01:02confirmation of Iran's claims regarding
01:05destroyed aircraft or casualties.
01:07But the satellite images are likely to
01:10intensify questions about the scale of
01:13the attack and its impact.
01:15At the same time, the war of words between
01:17Washington and Tehran is becoming even more intense.
01:21U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a
01:24stark warning to Iran.
01:26He says if Tehran attacks ships passing through
01:29the Strait of Hormuz, the United States will
01:32respond by striking key Iranian infrastructure,
01:35including bridges and power plants.
01:38The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's
01:41most critical energy routes, with a significant share
01:44of global oil shipments passing through the narrow waterway
01:48every day.
01:49Any disruption there could have major consequences for
01:52global markets and regional security.
01:55Meanwhile, Iran's Army Chief, Amir Hatami, has delivered a
01:59strong message of his own.
02:01He warned that if American forces enter Iranian territory,
02:05they would face millions of Iranians prepared to resist using
02:09every means available.
02:11The military confrontation is also expanding beyond direct
02:16strikes.
02:16Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it has carried out drone
02:20attacks on U.S.-linked bases in Jordan and Bahrain, while
02:24American air strikes on Iranian military facilities have now
02:28entered their 11th consecutive night.
02:31With military operations continuing, threats growing stronger on both
02:35sides and strategic locations becoming active flashpoints, fears are
02:40mounting that the confrontation could expand into a much wider
02:45regional conflict.
02:46For now, the Middle East remains on edge as the world watches to see
02:51what happens next.
