The tit-for-tat strikes this week have risked pushing the conflict into a perilous new phase, with no clear signs of whether the fighting could be contained. Iran’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that the latest round of strikes on Iran by the United States had effectively rendered the cease-fire they reached in April “meaningless.” The U.S. military also sought to raise pressure on Iran at sea, striking an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday for “attempting to transport Iranian oil,” U.S. Central Command said. The Indian government announced that three Indian crew members had died in a U.S. strike on another tanker a day earlier, the first seafarers known to have been killed in the U.S. military effort to enforce a blockade to starve Iran of oil revenue. The latest American attack in Iran began shortly after midnight in Tehran and lasted about four hours, according to Central Command. Explosions were heard in Qeshm near the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the southern cities of Bandar Abbas, Minab and Sirik, Iranian news outlets reported. Mr. Trump told Fox News that strikes would resume the following night if Tehran did not capitulate in negotiations. Iran said it had responded with two waves of attacks on targets at U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. Kuwait’s military said on Thursday morning that it was intercepting hostile targets, and the authorities briefly closed the country’s airspace to civilian aircraft. Sirens were activated in Bahrain, the country’s interior ministry said, without saying what had triggered them. Iran also said that the Strait of Hormuz was now closed to any type of vessel, including oil tankers and commercial ships. The U.S. military said the strait was not closed. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the new strikes were meant not as retaliation for a particular military action but to pressure Tehran to agree to peace on Mr. Trump’s terms. “If we need to negotiate with bombs, we’ll negotiate with bombs,” Mr. Hegseth told reporters. Here’s what else we’re covering: Strikes on vessels: India’s foreign ministry said 20 seafarers were rescued from the Jalveer, the ship that was attacked by the U.S. military on Thursday. It was the third commercial vessel with an Indian crew to have been hit by American strikes in the past four days. Iran water tanks: A New York Times analysis of satellite images and photographs suggests that a precision U.S. attack early Wednesday hit drinking-water facilities in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province. U.S. Central Command did not respond to a request for comment on the report of the strike.
