US President Donald Trump and Iran's senior officials have traded new threats of further action, after the two sides exchanged strikes. Trump said Tehran had taken "too long to negotiate a deal" and would now "have to pay the price", without giving specific details.
He said Iran had been "completely defeated" and was "all talk and no action". It came after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier warned his country would "leave no attack or threat unanswered", saying that the US had suffered "defeats on the battlefield".
The US said it struck Iranian sites on Tuesday in response to the downing of a US army helicopter in the Gulf. Iran then launched strikes at US bases in the region.
