Since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday, the war appears to be widening beyond the Middle East. Strikes have been reported in Israel, Turkey, Bahrain, UAE, Azerbaijan and other countries, including on U.S. embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
So far, six Americans — all service members — have been killed since the beginning of the military operation. The war in Iran is costing the U.S. about $1 billion a day, sources say.
Iran is reporting that more than 1,200 people have been killed so far, The Associated Press says.
The World Health Organization said that as of this morning “almost 1,000 deaths have been reported in Iran, 50 in Lebanon, 10 in Israel and 11 in other gulf countries.”
President Donald Trump said today that he should be involved in choosing Iran’s next supreme leader, Axios reported. The late ayatollah’s son Mojtaba Khamenei has become the front-runner for taking over his father’s role. Trump is opposed. “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight,” Trump told Axios.

Crawl under something and die. We gotta do war in the Middle East...again. So no money for healthcare.
