Live Updates: U.S., Iran trade more strikes after Trump says ceasefire is “over” – CBS News
The U.S. began a second night of strikes late Wednesday and Iran responded with strikes of its own after President Trump declared earlier in the day that the ceasefire was “over.”
What to know about the Iran war today:
- The U.S. military launched a second night of strikes against Iranian targets late Wednesday, saying it was retaliating against Iran for attacking commercial ships earlier this week. U.S. Central Command said it struck about 90 targets inside Iran during the second round of strikes, including missile and drone storage sites and air defense systems.
- Tehran then said it targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar as the two nations’ seeming tit for tat continued.
- President Trump had hinted at more strikes during a NATO summit earlier in the day. When asked about the ceasefire with Iran, he said that “as far as I’m concerned, it’s over.” He also said he’s not sure he wants to make a deal with the Iranians, called Iran’s leaders “sick,” and declared it “a waste of time dealing with them.”
