DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s attacks on regional oil infrastructure and pledges to choke off a vital waterway left markets on edge as the United States promised blistering new strikes. The war entered its 11th day on Tuesday with no end in sight as its effects were felt across the region and beyond. Both sides sharpened their rhetoric as they dug in. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth again promised the most intense strikes yet. Iran’s leaders ruled out talks and threatened U.S. President Donald Trump. Iran launched new attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab countries, while Israel bombed Iran and Lebanon, where it is battling Hezbollah militants.  (Photo:  AP)
