Iran attacks US bases in Jordan, Bahrain

TEHRAN, June 10 (AFP): Iran attacked American bases in Jordan and Bahrain on Wednesday, warning its Gulf neighbours that they had a "responsibility" to stop the United States and Israel from using their territory to strike the Islamic republic.
The strikes came after the US carried out its own attacks on Iran in response to the shooting down of an American helicopter, straining a ceasefire that took effect in April.
The attacks have cast doubt on US President Donald Trump's earlier claim that negotiations were in their "final throes" before reaching an enduring settlement to end the Middle East war.
The war, which began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, threw the region into chaos and rattled global markets before a shaky truce began.
Iranian forces fired "long-range missiles" and "targeted and destroyed four major targets" in Jordan, including F35 fighter nests at an air base and the US command centre in Al-Azraq, the country's Revolutionary Guards said in a statement quoted by state-run IRNA news agency on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump accused Iran on Wednesday of taking too long to negotiate a peace deal and warned it would now "have to pay the price", a day after suggesting an agreement was in the offing.
The remarks came after Iran and the US once again traded fire following the downing of an American helicopter, further straining a ceasefire that took effect in April but has been marked by sporadic flare-ups of violence.
