The US said it had launched a fresh wave of strikes against Iran on Wednesday as President Donald Trump warned Tehran it "better behave". The US military said "Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels" moving through the Strait of Hormuz had been targeted. Air defences also sounded in the capital Tehran, according to state media. Iran meanwhile said it had struck US military targets in the region, including in Bahrain and Kuwait, as a fifth day of renewed hostilities strained their preliminary deal to end the war. Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, told state media Tehran had "no reason" to abide by the deal if it did not benefit from it. Trump had threatened late on Tuesday to attack bridges and power plants should Iran not return to talks next week. Asked by reporters late on Wednesday whether he would give a deadline before doing so, he responded: "I ‌don't like giving ​deadlines, but they pretty ⁠much know, they know ​the story... ​they ​better ​behave." He later told delegates at a defence summit that Iran was "not happy right now".
