US hits 170 Iranian targets in 48 hours as truce ends
The US military launched attacks on 170 Iranian targets across two nights, with the objective of reducing Iran's capacity to target commercial vessels. Iran's army responded by attacking US installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, prompting air defence systems to intercept incoming drones and missiles as sirens blared. President Donald Trump declared the interim truce with Iran "over" during the Nato summit in Turkey.
