– The United States launched a second round of airstrikes on Iran into Thursday morning after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations, and Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher. The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released no information about what was hit.
Kuwait closed its airspace because of the Thursday morning attack, without elaborating on any damage. Jordan didn't acknowledge the attack, though the U.S. Embassy in Amman warned about it. And Bahrain sounded its missile alert sirens without mentioning possible damage there. Trump has urged Iran to sign a deal to end the war and suggested earlier this week that an agreement could be reached in days.
Still, both countries seem to be looking for a way to end the conflict — if they can manage to sell it as a win at home.that make compromise harder: the collapse of Iran’s theocratic government, the elimination of its nuclear program, and the destruction of the Iranian-allied Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. The U.S. Central Command said its latest round of airstrikes ended just before sunrise Thursday in Iran.
The military command said the strikes came “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression” and targeted “Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems and air defense sites. ” It did not elaborate on the damage done by the strikes, which it said were carried out by the U.S. Air Force, Marines and Navy. Explosions from the strikes echoed around Iran’s capital, Tehran, as well as the port city of Bandar Abbas and other southern areas along the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel early Thursday also warned residents in the north to seek shelter after the detection of suspected incoming fire from Lebanon. The international benchmark for crude oil traded above $93 a barrel on Wednesday, up more than 25% since the start of the war. Trump said the U.S. military has since last month undertaken a “secret mission” to sneak oil shipments past Iran’s forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
He said ships were slipping through at night, aided by the destruction of Iranian radar equipment. Trump said as a result more than 100 million barrels of oil have evaded Iran’s chokehold on the strait. There was no immediate confirmation of that figure, which roughly equals five days of oil shipments through the waterway before the war began. The military’s role was not immediately clear.
The U.S. Central Command on Wednesday disputed Iran’s claims that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, saying commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out.in the run-up to midterm elections in November, Trump seems to be looking for a quick win. But he is also making demands that will be tough for Iran to swallow. The U.S. wants to see Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
While Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, that uranium is a short technical step from weapons-grade levels. Iran is refusing to give up the uranium and demanding relief from sanctions. It also wants the release of frozen assets even before a final agreement is in place, something Trump rejected. Iran has insisted that any deal to end the war must also end fighting between its ally Hezbollah and Israel.
