DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 The U.S. military launched a second round of airstrikes Saturday targeting Iran at President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> direction as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring rising tensions that threaten the interim deal between the two nations<\/a> to stop the war.<\/p>\n

The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic \u2014 likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.<\/p>\n
