Iran live updates: Iran will 'pay a price,' Rubio says when asked if US will escalate

U.S. Central Command said in a statement late on Wednesday that it completed its 12th consecutive night of strikes on Iran.

CENTCOM said that the latest wave of attacks targeted "maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites and air defense assets."

"The strikes further degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels," CENTCOM said.

CENTCOM said it also redirected nine commercial vessels and "disabled" another, continuing to enforce the naval blockade of Iran's ports.

U.S. forces launched more strikes targeting Iran, U.S. Central Command announced in a social media post.

It's the 12th consecutive night of U.S. strikes against Iran.

"The mission will continue to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters," the statement said.

President Donald Trump claimed during a speech in Georgia on Wednesday that Iran wasn't "ready" to make a deal to end the war because anytime the Iranians settle on an agreement, they "change" it.

"They want to make a deal. But I say they're not ready to make a deal," Trump said. “Because every time they make a deal, they want to change it and everything. They're not ready. They'll be ready very soon."

By a narrow vote of 216-214, the House adopted a sweeping budget resolution for a $95 billion package to provide funding for defense and intelligence, farm aid and components of the elections overhaul effort -- the SAVE America Act.

GOP Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Warren Davidson (Ohio) voted against the measure with all Democrats. California Rep. Kevin Kiley, an independent who conferences with Republicans, also voted no.

The GOP-led resolution, which directs four committees to draft pieces of legislation that ultimately would be wrapped into one bill, now heads to the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated he does not plan to hold a vote on the resolution any time soon.

The blueprint allows for up to $60 billion for military funding and as much as $13 billion for intelligence costs -- totaling $73 billion to cover the military conflict with Iran as the Pentagon warns it's running out of money to conduct operations there.
