U.S. President Donald Trump said he will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal, following a second night of clashes between the countries’ forces.
Trump ordered multiple strikes as his frustration over the lack of progress in talks grows. He told Fox News the U.S. would attack on Thursday unless the Islamic Republic accepts an accord that’s meant to extend their increasingly tenuous ceasefire by two months and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran retaliated, like it did the night before, by firing on U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. Kuwait briefly closed its airspace and Jordan said it intercepted 20 missiles. Bahrain reported one child was injured after shrapnel from missile interceptions fell on its capital Manama.
