Iran has again closed the Strait of Hormuz as the parties involved in the war, the US and Iranian forces exchanged heavy missile and drone attacks over the weekend and into Monday.
Tehran struck U.S. facilities across the Gulf, with the closure sending oil prices higher.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Monday they had targeted U.S. military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, destroyed radar systems in Oman, and hit fuel tanks and ammunition depots at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan in response to U.S. strikes.
The U.S. military said it had struck Iranian air defence systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities and small boats on Sunday, using aircraft, naval vessels and drones.
The exchanges were an escalation in the pace and geographic scope of attacks over the past week, casting doubt on an interim agreement signed last month to reopen the strait and end the war after a further 60 days of negotiations.
