It is day five and there have been many political and strategic developments.

In Washington, JD Vance has spoken about one war aim, destroying Iran's nuclear capability.
His boss, the president, has spoken of another, getting a US-friendly government in Iran.

Israel has widened its airstrikes.
The US has sunk an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka.
