Iran retaliated against US air and cruise missile strikes as hostilities escalated on Thursday, with attacks targeting Kuwait and Bahrain. The renewed fighting came after US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations. CGTN’s Ehsan Keivani reported from Iran on the latest developments.
The exchange of fire marks a significant escalation in the region, raising fears of a broader conflict.
Both sides have continued military operations, with no immediate signs of de-escalation. The international community has called for restraint, but diplomatic efforts remain at an impasse.
