Iran struck two communities near Israel’s main nuclear research center late Saturday, leaving buildings shattered and at least seven people seriously injured, hours after Tehran’s main nuclear enrichment site was hit as the war spun into a dangerous new direction at the start of its fourth week. Magen David Adom Israel reported 20 people injured in the Southern city of Dimona following several Iranian missile hits on Saturday evening. A hospital and tourist site in southwestern Iran have been damaged from U.S.
Main Idea: President Donald Trump warned Iran the U.S. would hit its power plants unless it reopened the Strait of Hormuz, as the U.S. sent more troops to the Middle East and the war with Israel escalated.
Key Points:
More US troops in the Middle East and Trump’s threat to hit Iranian power sites could raise oil prices, boost inflation, and increase the risk of a wider war that hurts households and small businesses.
