Israel's military has stated that the week-long strikes have crippled most of Iran's missile launchers and air defenses, while U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned that American attacks are set to increase significantly.

Israel says it has begun a "broad-scale wave of strikes" targeting key Iranian infrastructure as the Iran war enters its seventh day, The Caspian Post reports, citing Euronews.

Meanwhile, Tehran has launched a new wave of retaliatory attacks on neighbouring countries hosting US bases early on Friday.

The new wave of strikes marks a full week of full-scale attacks affecting countries across the region.

Washington says its strikes on Tehran aim to eliminate Iran's missile programme, wipe out its naval capacity, ensure the country can never obtain a nuclear weapon and end its ability to fund militant groups in the region.
