U.S. President Donald Trump says he should be involved in choosing Iran’s next supreme leader. The U.S. and Israel have been hammering the country for a sixth day Thursday.

The war has escalated each day, affecting an additional 14 countries across the Middle East and beyond. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that American firepower over Tehran was “about to surge dramatically.” Azerbaijan accused Iran of attacking it with drones — though Tehran denied that. Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs after issuing a mass evacuation warning as fighting intensified with Lebanon’s Iran-allied Hezbollah militants.

Some two dozen states are challenging President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs in court. On Thursday, the states filed a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court.

Trump has said the tariffs are essential to address trade deficits.
