US strikes expand to Tehran as military campaign against Iran enters eleventh day

US forces conducted strikes against Iranian military command centers, drone depots, and hangars, marking the first time the capital, Tehran, has been targeted during the current eleven-day escalation. The simultaneous announcement of US-Saudi nuclear pact negotiations suggests a broader regional realignment effort amidst the kinetic conflict. It remains unclear if the Tehran strikes represent a permanent shift in targeting doctrine or a singular escalation.
