US-Iran War Live Updates: Trump says US to ‘resume bombing’, warns Iran of fresh strikes “today”

The U.S. launched airstrikes against Iran on June 10, 2026, at 5 pm ET, following orders from President Donald Trump. The operation, led by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), was described as a 'proportional response' to Iranian aggression, escalating tensions in West Asia. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by warning the U.S. would face retaliation and called for Washington to withdraw from the region, stating Iran’s armed forces would 'leave no attack or threat unanswered.' U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reinforced the administration’s stance, warning Iran against further provocation while emphasizing Trump’s pursuit of a 'great deal' to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Hegseth’s remarks came during a speech to troops at Guantánamo Bay, where he reiterated the U.S. position on seeking negotiations but maintaining military readiness. Global markets reacted sharply to the escalation, with oil prices climbing to their highest levels of the trading session. U.S. crude oil rose approximately 3.5% to above $91 per barrel, while international benchmark Brent crude gained nearly 3%, surpassing $94 per barrel. Equity markets declined as investors shifted to safer assets, with the S&P 500 dropping about 1% and the Nasdaq Composite falling around 1.4%. Analysts linked the volatility to fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East, a critical oil-producing region already under geopolitical strain. India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned an attack on the commercial vessel *Settebello* off Oman earlier that day, calling it a 'serious and deeply concerning incident.' The vessel had 24 Indian crew members onboard, with 21 rescued and three still missing. The Indian Embassy in Oman coordinated with Omani authorities to assist in ongoing search and rescue efforts. The MEA expressed grave concern over attacks on civilian infrastructure and commercial shipping, blaming the instability on the broader conflict, and urged all parties to de-escalate tensions and return to negotiations. The incident underscored the broader risks to maritime security, with India reiterating its call for unimpeded navigation through international waterways in accordance with international law. The MEA stressed that protecting civilian lives and ensuring maritime stability remained a priority as the situation developed. Meanwhile, Trump claimed earlier that the war would end within two weeks, though the latest strikes and Iranian threats suggest a prolonged standoff.
