Iran and U.S. trade new strikes as Trump dismisses pressure to end war

(NBC News) Iran said it targeted an American airbase Thursday, a response to new U.S. attacks that it called a “blatant violation” of both the shaky ceasefire between the two countries and international law.

The latest military exchange, which appeared to draw in the United States’ ally of Kuwait, raised further doubts about diplomatic efforts to end the war and reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

Hours earlier, President Donald Trump signaled an agreement between the two sides wasn’t close, and that he would not be rushed by either international economic pressure or the political pressure of upcoming midterm elections.

Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz — which it has effectively shut off in response to the U.S.-Israeli attack late February — has caused a global economic shock, with prices rising for oil, natural gas, fertilizer and other essential goods.
