US fires wave of Tomahawk missiles at Iran as Trump sends new warning

Iran United States Donald Trump

The US fired 49 Tomahawk missiles at Iran on Wednesday, marking the second consecutive day of strikes between the two nations.
US Central Command (Centcom) described these as 'self-defence strikes' targeting Iranian military surveillance and air defence sites.
In retaliation, Iran launched strikes against 18 US airbases in the Gulf region, prompting Kuwait to temporarily close its airspace and Bahrain to sound air sirens.
Donald Trump , the US president, stated the US would attack Iran 'very hard' unless a peace deal was finalised, following previous strikes.
The escalation in hostilities began earlier in the week with the downing of a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
