DUBAI: The U.S. military launched a second round of airstrikes Saturday targeting Iran at President Donald Trump's direction as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring rising tensions that threaten the interim deal between the two nations to stop the war.
The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic - likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
