Trump calls Strait of Hormuz 'something that we don't need'

Iran and its proxy groups "may be planning to target U.S.-owned oil and energy infrastructure in Iraq," the U.S. State Department warned Wednesday.

Other critical energy sites in the country have already been hit during the course of the conflict. Iraq's crude oil production has already dramatically dropped in recent days, according the Iraqi Oil Ministry.

"Iran-aligned terrorist militias have also targeted hotels frequented by Americans throughout Iraq, including the Iraqi Kurdistan Region," the State Department said.

Hezbollah launched missiles toward several parts of Israel on Wednesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

"The IDF will not tolerate any harm to Israeli civilians and will forcibly respond against any threat posed to the State of Israel," the IDF said in a statement.

At least 634 people have been killed and 1,586 wounded in Lebanon as Israeli strikes continue, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

At least 700,000 people are now internally displaced within Lebanon as Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and leadership, according to the United Nations.

Top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Ali Fadavi said Wednesday that Iran will not use any missile warhead lighter than 1 ton.

Fadavi claimed that President Donald Trump himself has been pursuing a ceasefire for two nights, he said in an interview on Iranian state TV.

Iran's IRGC aerospace commander Gen. Majid Moosavi had also put forward the claim on one-ton warhead missiles on Monday.

"From now on, no missile with a warhead lighter than one ton will be fired," Mousavi wrote in a post on his X account. "The wavelength of the firings and the wave levels will become longer, and the amplitude of them will become wider," he added.
