Iran war resumes as US strikes and Tehran vows to hit back
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.
