Iran has threatened to launch new strikes on Israel and resume the war against the US as Donald Trump's ceasefire efforts are plunged into further jeopardy. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said on Wednesday: "If Israel's aggression against Beirut continues, our armed forces are fully prepared to resume the war and target objectives inside Israel."
Tehran has repeatedly insisted that Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon must stop before any lasting agreement can be reached. The latest threat comes afterIran launched missile attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain on Tuesday.Kuwait's main international airport was damaged in the strike. Tehran has ramped up strikes in response toIsrael's assault on Lebanon.Earlier this week, President Trump lambasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a heated phone call, branding him "f****** crazy." The US President later confirmed he had been "a little bit perturbed" by Israel's continued military action and urged the Israeli leader to halt the attacks. The row comes as the White House attempts to secure a broader understanding with Iran that could eventually lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for global energy supplies.
Despite the growing tensions, Mr Trump has expressed confidence that a deal can be reached "fairly quickly", although Iran's latest threat to resume military action against Israel threatens to derail those efforts and risks plunging the region back into a wider conflict.
