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

The Israel Defense Forces targeted sites in Southern Lebanon where it said the Qard al-Hassan Association had assets and storage facilities.

That group is said to finance weapons purchases and handle other financial transactions for Hezbollah. The airstrikes were "part of ongoing efforts to further degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities," the IDF said on social media.

The Israeli military also on Tuesday issued a warning for all people in Lebanon south of the Litani River, saying there are ongoing strikes against Hezbollah and its infrastructure in the area.

"The airstrikes are ongoing as the Defense Army is operating with great force in the area," Avichay Adraee, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, said in Arabic on social media.

He added, "Therefore, and out of concern for your safety, we reiterate our urgent appeal for you to evacuate your homes immediately and head immediately north of the Litani River."

Those who remain are endangering "your lives and the lives of your families," Adraee said.

The Bahrain Interior Ministry released a statement overnight Tuesday saying a 29-year-old Bahraini woman died and eight people were injured in an Iranian strike against a residential building in Manama.

Vice President JD Vance will participate in the dignified transfer of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, the seventh U.S. service member killed in Iran, Monday evening at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, according to the pool traveling with him.

Pennington, 26, died Sunday from injuries he sustained during a March 1 retaliation strike on U.S. troops at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia from Iran.

President Donald Trump said Monday he'd like to help the Iranian people "if they can behave, but they've been very menacing."

"I'd love to help them, but they have to be in a system that allows them to be helped, and right now they're in a system that only allows failure. And I don't want that," he said when asked during a press briefing Monday about his intentions for helping Iranians once his military objectives are over.

"I want a system that's not going to be attacking us," he continued. "We want a system that can lead to many years of peace, and if we can't have that, we might as well get it over with right now."
