Supported reports indicate Iran struck US radar sites in the Gulf and Kuwaiti infrastructure on Monday and Tuesday, while US President Trump stated attacks would continue and Iran would require 20-25 years to rebuild. Trump also met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and warned Houthi forces, as Pakistan's prime minister met Iran's interior minister. Unverified claims from Iranian Guards and an ISW report dated July 19, 2026 remain disputed.

Continued strikes expand executive power and taxpayer costs without congressional approval.
