More than 6 months of war have left Iran’s economy under intense strain, forcing families to choose what they can still afford and what they must live without.

BIG: US military and intelligence officials are quietly discussing cutting forces in the Middle East once the Iran war ends.
The CIA's Riyadh outpost was "effectively destroyed."
Bases in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait have all been hit.
The Navy's top admiral said troops won't return to Bahrain "anytime soon."
Some officials are considering whether sensitive missions can be done without permanent bases — fly in, execute, fly home.
The Pentagon may simply not rebuild some destroyed facilities.
One comptroller said rebuilding depends "on how we decide to rebuild those, or if we do."
There's no formal review order — officials are trying to anticipate a president known to change his mind quickly.

The US and Iran are now locked in a tit-for-tat cycle of retaliation.
🚨BREAKING: President Trump speaks with @TreyYingst and issues a blunt warning to Iran after the U.S.' latest strikes against the regime:
"If they retaliate, they'll be hit much harder. And if they do it again, they'll be no longer."
"They don't stop. They're crazy and they're stupid."
"They tried to rebuild their radar because they can't see anything. We waited until it was almost built and then we hit it."
