Iran war live: Explosions in Tehran after Trump says US will be ‘hitting Iran hard’
On Wednesday, Trump told reporters, in reference to Iran: “We’re going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.”
The latest strikes come after US military began targeted sites inside Iran in response to the downing of a military helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week.
Iran responded by launching missiles against bases that host US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
For weeks, Trump insisted that a peace deal between the US and Iran is close, but the conflict this week suggests time has run out to reach a diplomatic solution to the crisis, Al Jazeera news agency reported.
