Iran says it has targeted a US air base in retaliation for fresh American strikes on an Iranian naval base and airport in the Strait of Hormuz.
Donald Trump’s military launched more strikes late on Wednesday targeting a military site that was believed to have posed a threat to American forces and commercial traffic in the Strait, a US official told Reuters. The US said it was intent on continuing a fragile ceasefire.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it attacked a base without specifying which one, and warned that any further US aggression would draw a “more decisive” response. The attacks came after Trump said he was not yet satisfied with a deal with Iran.
“Iran is very much intent, they want very much to make a deal,” he said at a White House cabinet meeting on Wednesday. “So far they haven’t gotten there … we’re not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that or we’ll have to just finish the job”.
Meanwhile, Kuwait’s army said on Thursday that its air defences were intercepting hostile missile and drone threats, but did not say where they were coming from.
