Iran accuses Trump of striking nuclear plant with active working reactor LIVE
US forces said they hit about 90 targets across Iran with President Donald Trump warning the conflict could “get much worse”.
Iran responded to a second day of renewed attacks by targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar early on Thursday.
US Central Command said the strikes were aimed at hitting Iran’s ability “to threaten freedom of navigation” through the Strait of Hormuz.
Renewed hostilities broke out on Tuesday after Iran targeted three tankers in the vital waterway, which remains a flashpoint in the fragile truce.
“U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief,” the statement from Central Command said.
Trump also reposted on his Truth Social platform a picture of buildings in flames billowing thick black smoke, purportedly to be in Iran, with the message: “This is retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships. If it happens again, it will get much worse.”
