> The United States and Iran have resumed attacks on each other in the Middle East. Tehran targeted US military sites in the Gulf after Washington struck rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command called its action limited and precise to prevent Iranian mine-laying, while Iran claimed heavy damage at two US bases in Jordan.
