DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States launched a second round of airstrikes into Thursday morning on Iran after President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations.
The new assault across multiple cities comes as efforts to negotiate an end the war 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.
Iran threatened to retaliate for the strikes, and missile sirens sounded Thursday morning in Bahrain, home to the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. However, there wasn't an immediately Iranian attack at the intensity of the one that came Wednesday morning after the first round of American strikes, when Iran launched missiles at Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
