The Iran war has reignited after the United States launched fresh strikes and President Trump declared last month's ceasefire over, raising fears of a return to all-out conflict. US Central Command said it hit more than 80 targets in retaliation for Iran attacking three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's military has vowed a decisive response. Tehran says it has already struck US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, which were intercepted.
