Trump: Calls on Iranian Kurds to Attack Iran as War Escalates

US President Donald Trump has encouraged Iranian Kurdish forces in Iraq to launch attacks against Iran as the conflict in the Middle East escalates. Israel announced it has begun strikes on infrastructure in Tehran, while Iran launched drone attacks against US bases in Qatar and Iraq, as well as locations in Israel and Kuwait. Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced they also targeted an airbase and radar position in Israel. The war has also extended to the Indian Ocean, with an American submarine sinking an Iranian vessel. Trump stated that the US should have a role in choosing the next leader of Iraq, while the US Secretary of Defense disagreed.
