The US and Iran have again exchanged strikes - Tehran launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks on American bases in the region after US strikes, UNN reports citing CNN.

This statement came after the US carried out new multi-hour strikes targeting central and southern Iran.
The US military said it struck dozens of Iranian military targets for the second night in a row.
A spokesman for the US military said the new strikes came after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shelled another commercial vessel on the waterway, over which Washington and Tehran have made conflicting claims regarding the state of maritime navigation. The channel is key for Tehran as a lever in negotiations.
The Gulf countries have come under fire again. Tehran said it launched a new wave of strikes on US bases in the region - in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain. In Bahrain, sirens were activated, while the military in Kuwait said it was dealing with "hostile aerial targets," and Jordanian forces intercepted four missiles in their airspace.
Brent crude and US oil prices rose more than 3% on Sunday following the attacks over the weekend.
