Iran-US war latest: Missile sirens sound across the Middle East after Trump resumes strikes on Tehran
The US has continued carrying out airstrikes against Iran after President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that the ceasefire between the nations is “over” in the wake of Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The president wrote on social media on Wednesday that the strikes were “retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran,” warning that attacks could “get much worse” if hostilities continue.
The Republican told reporters on Air Force One that Iran had reached out recently, claiming Tehran still wants to make a deal “so badly,” though Iran has not confirmed any such overtures.
Explosions have been reported in coastal areas across southern Iran, and missile sirens have sounded across Gulf nations warning of potential strikes from Tehran.
The resumption of attacks comes as the president said he was “not sure” if he wanted to make a deal with Tehran going forward.
Asked why he now viewed Iran’s leadership as “scum”, the US leader told the Nato summit that he “got to know ‘em”.
