The US on Sunday launched its heaviest assault on Iran in weeks, while Tehran hit Gulf nations and announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
American military bases in Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman came under fire in retaliation for the US attacks on southern Iran.

US President Donald Trump said last week that the ceasefire was “over,” but regional mediators were still working Sunday to shore up the truce and lobby for de-escalation.
