DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 The U.S. military said Wednesday it has begun another round of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump said more were coming. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to\u00a0end the war, with Trump warning that Tehran would \u201cpay the price\u201d for stalled negotiations.<\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command said in a social media post that the military was striking \u201cmultiple targets in Iran,\u201d attacks that were \u201cin response to Iran\u2019s unwarranted and continued aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second day of American strikes came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan \u2014 all of which host U.S. troops \u2014 came under Iranian fire. It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire. They also came a day after the U.S. struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

Trump has urged Iran to sign a deal to end the war and suggested earlier this week that an agreement could be reached in a matter of days.<\/p>\n

Iranian media reported that explosions were heard in Bandar Abbas, Sirik and Minab in the south of the country.<\/p>\n

Iran has proved resilient despite weeks of\u00a0heavy bombing. It is betting that its ability to effectively close the\u00a0Strait of Hormuz\u00a0\u2014 a crucial passageway for oil and natural gas \u2014 gives it a strong bargaining chip.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s United Nations envoy said the U.S. should refrain from threats of force if it wants a deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran has never negotiated under threats and pressure and will never submit to pressure or question,\u201d Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Still, both countries seem to be looking for a way to end the conflict \u2014 if they can manage to sell it as a win at home.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears\u00a0intent on pursuing goals\u00a0that make compromise harder: the collapse of Iran\u2019s theocratic government, the elimination of its nuclear program, and the destruction of the Iranian-allied Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. On Monday,\u00a0Iran and Israel targeted each other.<\/p>\n

Trump says US is sneaking oil past the Strait of Hormuz<\/h3>\n

Since the U.S. and Israel started the war with Feb. 28 attacks on Iran, the conflict has\u00a0shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices worldwide, and made\u00a0food and other basics\u00a0more expensive.<\/p>\n

The international benchmark for crude oil traded above $93 a barrel on Wednesday, up more than 25% since the start of the war.<\/p>\n

Trump said Wednesday the U.S. military has since last month undertaken a \u201csecret mission\u201d to sneak oil shipments past Iran\u2019s forces in the Strait of Hormuz. He said ships were slipping through at night, aided by the destruction of Iranian radar equipment.<\/p>\n

Trump said as a result more than 100 million barrels of oil have evaded Iran\u2019s chokehold on the strait. There was no immediate confirmation of that figure, which roughly equals five days of oil shipments through the waterway before the war began.<\/p>\n

The military\u2019s role was not immediately clear. Capt. Tim Hawkins, a Central Command spokesman, said U.S. forces \u201ccommunicate and coordinate\u201d with commercial ships in the area, but gave no details on military support being offered.<\/p>\n

US and Iranian strikes shake the Mideast<\/h3>\n

Earlier Wednesday, the U.S. military said an American aircraft fired \u201cprecision munitions\u201d into the engine room of the Palau-flagged vessel M\/T Settebello as it attempted to breach the naval blockade with a shipment of Iranian oil. It was the eighth merchant vessel disabled by U.S. forces in waters off Iran.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s foreign ministry said three Indian sailors were missing after the Settebello was struck, while 21 others were rescued. Its statement did not mention the U.S. military or the blockade.<\/p>\n

Hawkins of U.S. Central Command said American forces warned the crew before firing on the ship.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military said strikes earlier Wednesday targeted \u201cair defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran said U.S. strikes hit two water reservoirs in the southern city of Sirik, temporarily cutting off water to thousands of people. U.S. Central Command had no immediate comment.<\/p>\n

Tehran later claimed attacks in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan.<\/p>\n

Jordan said it shot down five incoming missiles, which Iran said targeted an air base hosting American military aircraft.<\/p>\n

Bahrain and Kuwait said they intercepted incoming fire.<\/p>\n

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the American attacks as a violation of Iranian sovereignty. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said in televised comments that, following the new attacks, Iran would review its stance on negotiations to end the war.<\/p>\n

Efforts to mediate a deal continued. Following consultations with the U.S., a delegation from Qatar arrived in Tehran for talks on Wednesday, according to an official with knowledge of the visit who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks.<\/p>\n

The exchanges of fire came a day after a U.S. Army attack helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. The helicopter collided with an Iranian drone, according to a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. It wasn\u2019t clear whether the collision was intentional.<\/p>\n

A drone boat rescued the helicopter\u2019s two crew. Trump said they were uninjured.<\/p>\n

Big disagreements stand in the way of a quick peace deal<\/h3>\n

Wary of\u00a0high gas prices\u00a0in the run-up to congressional elections in November, Trump seems to be looking for a quick win. But he is also making demands that will be tough for Iran to swallow.<\/p>\n

The U.S. wants to see Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. While Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, that uranium is a short technical step from weapons-grade levels.<\/p>\n

Iran is refusing to give up the uranium and demanding relief from sanctions. It also wants the release of frozen assets even before a final agreement is in place, something Trump rejected.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear how those differences can be bridged. In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump said Iran was taking \u201ctoo long to negotiate a deal\u201d and \u201dnow they will have to pay the price!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran has insisted that any deal to end the war must also end fighting between its ally Hezbollah and Israel. Israel has instead intensified its military campaign against the Lebanon-based militant group.<\/p>\n

An airstrike on a village east of Tyre killed at least six people, Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency reported. It said two others were killed by an Israeli drone strike on a car in the southern city of Sidon.<\/p>\n
