Iran warns the US of an 'unpredictable' military response as Trump claims Tehran's forces have been 'decapitated'

President Donald Trump, speaking from Washington on the eve of the US midterms, boasted that American strikes had destroyed Iranian aircraft, naval vessels and air defences, leaving Tehran's military "decapitated." Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf fired back with a warning of severe retaliation if the US launches further attacks, while four tankers were reportedly ablaze after hitting mines near the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel has shared intelligence with the US claiming Iran is considering chemical weapons use, though several American officials suspect Netanyahu is pushing for a return to major combat.
