Trump warned Iran it would now "pay a price" after a new round of US-Iran military exchanges, according to live reporting on Wednesday.
The latest coverage said US forces struck Iran after earlier developments in the crisis, and that Iran responded with missile attacks on US bases in the region. Iranian officials said Washington was harming diplomacy and violating the ceasefire.
Jordanian forces intercepted missiles headed toward the al-Azraq base, according to the live report. The coverage also said Iran fired missiles at US bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait.
The Guardian's live blog reported Trump saying Iran had taken too long to make a deal and would now pay a price. The latest remarks came as tensions remained high after the strikes and counterstrikes.
The broader picture remains uncertain. Reported questions include how many strikes were officially acknowledged by the US military or White House, what damage or casualties were confirmed, and whether the exchange will further undermine the ceasefire or talks.
