Iran-US war latest: Iran attacks US bases across three Gulf allies after Trump renews strikes on Tehran
Iran has fired at least four ballistic missiles and several drones at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan in retaliation against Donald Trump's renewed attacks on Tehran.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said its Aerospace Force launched long-range missiles at an airbase in Jordan, which hosts US military personnel. The Guard said the attack damaged critical command centres and F-35 fighter jet hangars.
The Kuwaiti army said its air defence systems were “intercepting hostile aerial targets”, while Bahrain, for the second time on Wednesday morning, sounded air raid sirens.
The escalation comes after Donald Trump’s military launched retaliatory strikes against Iran, hitting its air defence infrastructure, after the US president accused the country of shooting down an American helicopter.
Trump had warned earlier that the US “must, of necessity, respond” to the downing of an Apache helicopter that was patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. Two US pilots were rescued, uninjured, from the vital waterway after the $40m gunship went down, US officials said.
US Central Command announced the “self-defence strikes” were “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression”. Vance claims US 'very close' to Iran deal
Vice president JD Vance has claimed that the US was “very close” to a deal that would address Iran’s nuclear programme “for the long term".
“I think we’re going to know a lot before the [November] midterm elections,” he told CBS News before Donald Trump launched retaliatory attacks on Iran.
“Look, I think that the deal could happen in the next week, but the deal could also happen months from now.”
He said: “Right now, I feel that we are in a position to get a deal that is good for the United States economically and that really does deal with the Iranian nuclear program, not just now, not just while Donald Trump is president, but for the long term, to where my kids can say when they’re adults, ‘Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon'."
“That’s the goal of the policy. And I think we’re very close to achieving that goal. But we still got some wood to chop. We’re going to keep doing it,” he added.

A US military official said Donald Trump's troops have struck 20 Iranian targets in an attack that triggered retaliatory strikes on US bases in the Middle East.
The Iranian strikes, which included attacks in Kuwait and Bahrain, came after the US military said on X it had targeted Iranian air defence, ground control stations and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump said the strikes were in response to Iran downing a US Apache helicopter patrolling the Strait. Two crew members escaped the incident unharmed.
