Donald Trump threatens to annihilate Iran after crossfire over Hormuz - Middle East crisis live

Key Points:

• US President Donald Trump warned that the US may be "forced to militarily complete the job" against Iran following US strikes on Iranian targets in retaliation for a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening that Iran "will no longer exist" if that occurs.
• Iran responded with missile and drone attacks targeting US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, leading to air defense responses and damage to a residential building in Bahrain; both Gulf states condemned the Iranian attacks as violations of sovereignty and threats to regional security.
• New Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon shortly after a US-brokered agreement aimed at ending hostilities and disarming Hezbollah, with Hezbollah rejecting the deal and warning of internal Lebanese conflict over its implementation.
• Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vowed stronger retaliation if the US continues attacks, while Iran's foreign minister called for a regional security framework excluding external powers and warned that challenges to Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz would escalate tensions.
• Amid escalating tensions, US Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence in American success regardless of a final deal with Iran, and President Trump nominated Lance Schroyer as the next director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
