For a second day, the US-Iran war has escalated with continued attacks by both sides, after the United States launched attacks against Iranian targets. Tehran retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting American military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, as well as closing the Strait of Hormuz for all ships.
As the US-Iran war continues, with tensions rising over a flaring ceasefire, Iran on Wednesday announced that its Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) had targeted American military bases in Middle East after the US launched attacks on southern Iran, in what was referred to as a "self-defense" over the downing of an American Apache attack helicopter over Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
