US and Iran War: Tension Heightens as Iran Strikes Again

Tehran has launched fresh attacks on US military bases in neighbouring Gulf states, while Washington continued to strike sites across Iran overnight.

Tehran said it had struck targets in the region, including in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, as a sixth day of renewed hostilities strained their preliminary deal to end the war.

Meanwhile, the US military said it inflicted a six-hour wave of strikes in multiple locations to degrade Iran's ability to threaten innocent mariners in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest exchanges came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran it had better behave or face further military action should Iran not return to negotiations.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to target Iran's energy infrastructure if Tehran failed to return to talks.

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, told state media Tehran had no reason to abide by any agreement that did not benefit the country.
