West Asia war LIVE: U.S. strikes Iran for third night as Trump says deal still 'possible'

The U.S. has launched strikes against Iran for the third consecutive night, aiming to degrade Iranian forces' ability to target civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite escalating tensions, Trump has hinted that a peace deal might still be on the table.
