US and Iran exchange intensifying fire across the Mideast, threatening the interim deal to end war
United States forces launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday. Tehran responded by targeting U.S.-allied Mideast countries in an exchange of fire. Sirens sounded in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan amid the escalating conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump warned of further escalation if shipping attacks continue. These events threaten an interim deal intended to end the war in the region.
