The United States and Iran exchanged fresh strikes on Saturday after the Iranian Guards said they fired at four tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission in the latest escalation complicating efforts to end the war between the two countries. Shortly after, air raid sirens sounded in neighboring Gulf nations Kuwait and Bahrain and AFP correspondents in both countries heard explosions. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said early Saturday they had targeted “enemy bases in the area” with missiles in response to a US “invasion” of the country’s Sirik and Qeshm islands.
