U.S. and Iran Exchange Fire for Second Consecutive Day; Trump Warns Iran May Cease to Exist

[Reporter] The U.S. Central Command announced that it struck 10 military targets in Iran, including air defense bases and drone storage facilities, on June 27 local time under the orders of President Trump.

The command stated that the strikes were a response to Iran's attack on a civilian merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which followed a similar incident the previous day.

Immediately following the airstrikes, U.S. President Trump posted on social media, stating that "Iran may not exist," hinting at the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations.

Iran immediately retaliated by launching airstrikes against U.S. military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that the U.S. airstrikes were a violation of the ceasefire and threatened that if such violations continue, they could halt negotiations with the United States.

As the United States and Iran engage in armed conflict for the second consecutive day, concerns are rising that the follow-up working-level talks, expected as early as June 29, may become uncertain.
