President Trump says the U.S. is winning big as Iran and the U.S. trade strikes on critical Middle East infrastructure.

President Trump stated that the U.S. is "winning big" in Iran as hostilities escalate across the Middle East. The administration announced that U.S. Central Command has completed seven consecutive nights of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure and other assets. These attacks have pressured Iran to relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global energy exports. The conflict has shifted toward critical civilian infrastructure, with Iran striking power and water desalination plants in Kuwait and Iran. These strikes have caused significant material losses and forced Kuwaiti authorities to urge citizens to ration power during extreme heat. Iran has also reported that U.S. strikes on its soil have killed dozens of people and disrupted water supplies for thousands of residents. While the administration seeks to pressure Iran into a diplomatic breakthrough, Iranian officials have warned that they will no longer limit themselves to retaliatory responses. Iran has also signaled its readiness to follow the U.S. in suspending commitments under the recently collapsed memorandum of understanding.
