The US said it had further stepped up strikes on Iran as both sides in the war threatened to escalate a conflict hitting its two-week mark that has upended energy flows and financial markets.

“They’re going to be hit. They can talk all they want but, you know, let’s see what they do,” President Donald Trump told Fox News Radio in an interview that aired Friday. “They’re going to maybe do something having to do with the straits.”

The 14th day of the war marked the largest attacks yet against the Islamic Republic, with the US and Israel hitting around 15,000 targets since the war began, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
