The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Mr Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
His warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.
The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
President Donald Trump said in a social media post that Iran had shot down the aircraft while it was on patrol over the strait (Mark Schiefelbein/AP)…

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil industry, as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and take “total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the vital Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future”.
His latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Mr Trump has voiced his frustration with the stalled negotiations, warning earlier in the week that Tehran would “pay the price” for taking too long to reach a deal.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran as Tehran fired back at countries in the region in escalating attacks that threatened to derail efforts to end the war, as Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The US launched airstrikes against Iran after blaming Tehran for the crash of an American attack helicopter, and Iran fired back at countries in the region — another escalation that threatened to derail efforts to end the war.
Hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under Iranian fire, US President Donald Trump posted on his his Truth Social platform that Iran was taking “too long to negotiate a deal” and that “now they will have to pay the price”.
It was not clear what exactly that would mean, but the back-and-forth strikes on Wednesday again raised the question of how much pressure the deal can take before it cracks.

The US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.
The first involved attacks between Iran and Israel, followed by the two rounds of fire between the US and Iran, which hit countries in…

US forces have launched a fresh round of strikes against Iran on the orders of Donald Trump.
The president had earlier threatened to carry out further attacks as he branded the Tehran regime “scum” and “dishonourable”.
Speaking at the Nato summit in Turkey, Mr Trump declared that the interim ceasefire was over, following the latest flare-up in the Middle East, which has again led to a spike in oil prices.

Renewed hostilities broke out on Tuesday after Iran targeted three tankers in the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway, which remains a flashpoint in the fragile truce.
The US hit more than 80 targets while Iranian forces retaliated by attacking American military sites in the Gulf.

The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran after blaming Tehran for the crash of an American attack helicopter, and Iran fired back at countries in the region — another escalation that threatened to derail efforts to end the war.
Hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under Iranian fire, US President Donald Trump posted on his his Truth Social platform that Iran was taking “too long to negotiate a deal” and that “now they will have to pay the price”.
It was not clear what exactly that would mean, but the back-and-forth strikes on Wednesday again raised the question of how much pressure the deal can take before it cracks.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.
US President Donald Trump has said he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war by seizing control of the country’s oil industry.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that he made the move “based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved”.
The president opened an Oval Office event on Thursday afternoon saying: “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.”
He offered scant details, other than to say he expects an agreement to extend the ceasefire to be finalised “over the next few days”.
The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran had threatened pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full…

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil industry, as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and take “total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the vital Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future”.
His latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Mr Trump has voiced his frustration with the stalled negotiations, warning earlier in the week that Tehran would “pay the price” for taking too long to reach a deal.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran, and US President Donald Trump said more were on the way, as Tehran fired back at countries in the region.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
Mr Trump’s warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.
On Monday, Iran and Israel targeted each other.
“We’re going to hit them again hard today,” Mr Trump told reporters at the White House.
Shortly after Mr Trump spoke, the US military said it had fired on an oil tanker trying to transport oil from Iran in violation of its blockage on Ira…

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
President Donald Trump said in a social media post that Iran had shot down the aircraft while it was on patrol over the strait (Mark Schiefelbein/AP)…

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
He said: “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon” and “Let’s not blow it!”

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon and US “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war.
The statement on state television also warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned”.
Ships had begun moving through the strait after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
The statement came as Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least seven people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement.

The US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.
US President Donald Trump has said he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war by seizing control of the country’s oil industry.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that he made the move “based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved”.
The president opened an Oval Office event on Thursday afternoon saying: “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.”
He offered scant details, other than to say he expects an agreement to extend the ceasefire to be finalised “over the next few days”.
The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran had threatened pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full…

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil industry, as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and take “total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the vital Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future”.
His latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Mr Trump has voiced his frustration with the stalled negotiations, warning earlier in the week that Tehran would “pay the price” for taking too long to reach a deal.

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
“This could be the start of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it.”

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon and US “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war.
The statement on state television also warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned”.
Ships had begun moving through the strait after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
The statement came as Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least seven people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement.

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

The US launched airstrikes against Iran as Tehran fired back at countries in the region in escalating attacks that threatened to derail efforts to end the war, as Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
The US president’s warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
Officials have been unable to turn the April ceasefire into a deal to permanentl…

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.
Kuwait closed its airspace for several hours because of the Thursday morning attack, but did not elaborate on any damage.
Jordan said it intercepted 20 Iranian miss…

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran after blaming Tehran for the crash of an American attack helicopter, and Iran fired back at countries in the region — another escalation that threatened to derail efforts to end the war.
Hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under Iranian fire, US President Donald Trump posted on his his Truth Social platform that Iran was taking “too long to negotiate a deal” and that “now they will have to pay the price”.
It was not clear what exactly that would mean, but the back-and-forth strikes on Wednesday again raised the question of how much pressure the deal can take before it cracks.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
“This could be the start of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it.”

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.

US forces have launched a fresh round of strikes against Iran on the orders of Donald Trump.
The president had earlier threatened to carry out further attacks as he branded the Tehran regime “scum” and “dishonourable”.
Speaking at the Nato summit in Turkey, Mr Trump declared that the interim ceasefire was over, following the latest flare-up in the Middle East, which has again led to a spike in oil prices.

Renewed hostilities broke out on Tuesday after Iran targeted three tankers in the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway, which remains a flashpoint in the fragile truce.
The US hit more than 80 targets while Iranian forces retaliated by attacking American military sites in the Gulf.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
He said: “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon” and “Let’s not blow it!”

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Mr Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
His warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.

US forces strike tanker heading to Iran:
Vessel disabled in Gulf of Oman; US envoy hints at Trump-Netanyahu tensions over Lebanon
2 days ago
Author: Shubhi Patel

Tensions in the West Asia have risen further after the United States said it disabled an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman that was heading towards Iran. According to the US military, a fighter jet struck the vessel after its crew allegedly failed to comply with instructions issued by US forces enforcing a naval blockade on Iran.
The development comes as US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa suggested there are differences between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's military actions in Lebanon.
Issa said recent Israeli and Iranian attacks were intended as "political messages" and stressed that Washington does not want the conflict to widen.
Speaking after a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Issa said Trump closely follows events in Lebanon and had "almost got into a fight with Netanyahu over Lebanon", highlighting c…

US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil industry, as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and take “total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the vital Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future”.
His latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Mr Trump has voiced his frustration with the stalled negotiations, warning earlier in the week that Tehran would “pay the price” for taking too long to reach a deal.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon and US “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war.
The statement on state television also warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned”.
Ships had begun moving through the strait after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
The statement came as Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least seven people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released no information about what was hit.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran as Tehran fired back at countries in the region in escalating attacks that threatened to derail efforts to end the war, as Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
Officials have been unable to turn the April ceasefire into a deal to permanentl…

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.
US President Donald Trump has said he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war by seizing control of the country’s oil industry.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that he made the move “based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved”.
The president opened an Oval Office event on Thursday afternoon saying: “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.”
He offered scant details, other than to say he expects an agreement to extend the ceasefire to be finalised “over the next few days”.
The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran had threatened pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full…

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon and US “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war.
The statement on state television also warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned”.
Ships had begun moving through the strait after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
The statement came as Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least seven people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement.

The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Mr Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
His warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
“This could be the start of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it.”

US President Donald Trump has said he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war by seizing control of the country’s oil industry.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that he made the move “based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved”.
The president opened an Oval Office event on Thursday afternoon saying: “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.”
He offered scant details, other than to say he expects an agreement to extend the ceasefire to be finalised “over the next few days”.
The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran had threatened pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full…

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran after blaming Tehran for the crash of an American attack helicopter, and Iran fired back at countries in the region — another escalation that threatened to derail efforts to end the war.
Hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under Iranian fire, US President Donald Trump posted on his his Truth Social platform that Iran was taking “too long to negotiate a deal” and that “now they will have to pay the price”.
It was not clear what exactly that would mean, but the back-and-forth strikes on Wednesday again raised the question of how much pressure the deal can take before it cracks.

The US launched airstrikes against Iran, and US President Donald Trump said more were on the way, as Tehran fired back at countries in the region.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
Mr Trump’s warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.
On Monday, Iran and Israel targeted each other.
“We’re going to hit them again hard today,” Mr Trump told reporters at the White House.
Shortly after Mr Trump spoke, the US military said it had fired on an oil tanker trying to transport oil from Iran in violation of its blockage on Ira…

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
Officials have been unable to turn the April ceasefire into a deal to permanentl…

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.
US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning.
The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.
The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim de…

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
“This could be the start of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it.”

The US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.
The first involved attacks between Iran and Israel, followed by the two rounds of fire between the US and Iran, which hit countries in…

The US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.
The first involved attacks between Iran and Israel, followed by the two rounds of fire between the US and Iran, which hit countries in…

The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon and US “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war.
The statement on state television also warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned”.
Ships had begun moving through the strait after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
The statement came as Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least seven people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The US military launched airstrikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Iran launched attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, which both sounded alerts and fired air defences in response. Iran also said it targeted an air base in Jordan hosting US forces, which was not immediately acknowledged either by American or Jordanian officials.
Since the US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, the war has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive.
Officials have been unable to turn the April ceasefire into a deal to permanentl…

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.

US President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil industry, as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
Mr Trump said in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and take “total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the vital Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future”.
His latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Mr Trump has voiced his frustration with the stalled negotiations, warning earlier in the week that Tehran would “pay the price” for taking too long to reach a deal.

The US has begun another round of air strikes against Iran.
US Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it is being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come just a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Mr Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.
His warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host US troops — came under Iranian fire.
It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire.

Iran again launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.
Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the days of crossfire and have imperiled the talks for a lasting ceasefire.
A multinational maritime body overseen by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman for inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its location in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned of ‘further complications’ (H…

The US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.
The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage.
An Indian official said a US attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers.
It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.
The first involved attacks between Iran and Israel, followed by the two rounds of fire between the US and Iran, which hit countries in…

The US launched airstrikes against Iran as Tehran fired back at countries in the region in escalating attacks that threatened to derail efforts to end the war, as Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled peace negotiations.

The US military launched air strikes and Iran retaliated on Wednesday following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz which US President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

The US military said it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.

The US struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that US president Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had launched strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.
When Israel last struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, Iran responded with strikes on Israel.
Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, has insisted that any US-Iran ceasefire deal must also include an end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

US forces have launched a fresh round of strikes against Iran on the orders of Donald Trump.
The president had earlier threatened to carry out further attacks as he branded the Tehran regime “scum” and “dishonourable”.
Speaking at the Nato summit in Turkey, Mr Trump declared that the interim ceasefire was over, following the latest flare-up in the Middle East, which has again led to a spike in oil prices.
Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar all sounded sirens early on Thursday amid retaliatory Iranian fire. Kuwait said it was intercepting drones and missiles.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that Israel and Iran should refrain from such attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” Mr Trump posted on his social media site.
“This could be the start of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it.”

The United States has launched a new round of air strikes on Iran after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new US assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher.
The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released no information about what was hit.
