The United States launched a second round of air strikes against Iran between late Wednesday night (10) and early Thursday morning, 11 (local time), after President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for the impasse in peace negotiations.
The Iranian regime responded with bombings against Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, countries allied with the United States.
The new American offensive against several regions of Iran came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war once again appeared to be at a standstill, with Iran insisting on maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The US attack appeared more intense and broader than the previous day, but Iran did not release information about the targets hit.
Kuwait closed its airspace because of Iranian retaliation, but did not detail any damage. Jordan has not commented on the attack, although the US Embassy in Amman warned of the offensive. In Bahrain, missile warning sirens were activated, but the government also did not say whether any location was hit.
The third exchange of attacks in the Middle East this week has once again put the fragile ceasefire signed two months ago to the test. In the early hours of Monday the 8th, Iran and Israel carried out mutual offensives. On Wednesday, the 10th, and this Thursday, the protagonists of the combat were the American and Iranian forces.
Trump has been pushing Iran to sign a deal to end the war and suggested earlier this week that an understanding could be reached within days.
Despite the bombings, Iran has shown itself to be resilient and is betting on control over the Strait of Hormuz as an asset in negotiations. Source: Associated Press.
