Tehran's expanding retaliatory strikes and increasing shows of defiance came even as Israel hammered it for a sixth day.

The war has escalated each day, expanding well beyond the Gulf.

On Thursday, Azerbaijan accused Iran of attacking it with drones though Tehran denied launching them. A day earlier, the US said it sank an Iranian frigate in the waters off Sri Lanka. The vessel had participated in naval exercises hosted by India before heading out into international waters on its way home, New Delhi said.

All the while, Israel and the US have battered Iran with nationwide strikes, targeting their military capabilities and security forces.
