Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
I'm Paul Henley.
We're coming to you live from London.
There is no end in sight to the US offensive against Iran,
judging by President Trump's latest statement on the campaign today.
Mr Trump told journalists his military was proceeding at full force.
Since the beginning of the conflict, we've struck more than 7,000 targets across Iran.
And these have been mostly...
and military targets.
We've achieved a 90% reduction in their ballistic missile launches and a 95% reduction in drone attacks.
The missiles are trickling in now at very low levels because they don't have too many missiles left.
We've also attacked the manufacturing plants,
the places where they manufacture the missiles and the drones.
And that's going on today.
We just hit three of them today.
Mr.
Trump talked about hammering Iran's capacity to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,
and we'll be discussing that in a few minutes' time.
But the US and Israel's combined military offensive against Iran continues.
on targets far from the coast too, and intentionally or not, it continues to hit civilian areas.
