With four U.S. troops recently killed and pressure mounting on President Trump, Washington warns further strikes on U.S. or Saudi assets will trigger escalated retaliation. Officials stress Iran’s initial attack was not directly tied to the U.S. response, but both sides are sending clear messages: stop the attacks or face consequences.
