Is the U.S.-Iran War Expanding? After a brief lull in fighting, the U.S.-Iran war is heating up again this week—and it appears to be pulling in more countries. Egypt was hit by a drone attack on Wednesday, seemingly drawing the country into the Iran war for the first time. And Kuwait, which has faced repeated attacks during the war as Iran strikes countries that host U.S. troops, was once again targeted on Thursday. That’s a more than 60 percent drop from the 2,330 the U.S. military had before the Iran war.
