Iran targets US military bases in Gulf amid renewed tit-for-tat strikes
The US and Iran have rekindled their tit-for-tat strikes as both battle over control of the Strait of Hormuz. It comes a month after a preliminary deal was signed to end the conflict.
Kuwait and Bahrain faced renewed aerial attacks from Iran, with Tehran saying it was targeting US military bases in the Gulf. But how long can that conflict last?
Israel is the only winner in this conflict, it is forcing the situation, and working towards getting the US out of the middle east so It can build its bases in its place and be the dominant power.
