Explosions were reported Wednesday night across Iran as the US launched strikes on the country, hours after President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire was over.

Mr Trump had also earlier threatened to “hit Iran very hard” on Wednesday night.

Al Jazeera reported explosions in Sirik, Bushehr, Konarak and Chabahar. Air defence systems were activated in several parts of the country.

Iran retaliated by attacking US interests in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Mr Trump earlier said the US may “de-nuclearise” Iran without a deal.
