US and Iran exchange intensifying fire across the Persian Gulf as interim deal to end war threatened

The United States launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar in crossfire that again threatened an interim deal intended to help end the war. The strikes came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships signaled the end of the ceasefire. Thursday’s attacks appeared bigger all around than Wednesday's strikes, though there has been no word on damage in the three Gulf Arab countries. Iran said the two days of strikes had killed at least 14 people, the majority members of Iran's armed forces, and wounded 78 others.
