US attacks on Iran void peace deal, Iran strikes Gulf neighbours
The United States has launched a new wave of air strikes on Iran, as Iran's army reported seven troops killed and Iran declared the June peace deal voided, striking US targets in Bahrain and Kuwait.
- US announced new air strikes on Iran Wednesday night, targeting military sites near the Strait of Hormuz and on Greater Tunb island, with explosions reported in Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, and Ahvaz.
- Iran's top negotiator Ghalibaf said the attacks voided the June 17 memorandum of understanding and that Iran is now in an "existential war" with the US.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a military logistics hub in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait, as part of a "crushing response."
- US President Trump warned that US attacks would intensify if Iran does not return to negotiations, threatening to "knock out" Iran's power plants and bridges.
