In Iran, the two days of American airstrikes have killed at least 14 people and wounded another 78, Iran's Health Ministry said.

The regional crossfire raised the risks that an interim agreement to halt fighting in the war could break down, putting the Middle East again at risk of a wider conflict.

The U.S. military said Wednesday that it was carrying out another round of strikes on Iran after the Islamic Republic attacked ships in Strait of Hormuz a day earlier.

US and Iran escalate conflict with airstrikes across the Gulf, jeopardizing peace negotiations and regional stability.
