US President Donald Trump and Iranian leaders exchanged fresh threats after both sides carried out new military strikes in the Middle East. Trump said Iran had delayed negotiations for too long and would now "pay the price", claiming Tehran's military had been "completely defeated". Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded that the country would not leave any attack or threat unanswered. The latest tensions followed US strikes on Iranian military sites after a US helicopter was brought down near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran later launched attacks on US bases in the region, though US officials said most missiles and drones were intercepted. (PC: BBC)
