Two days of US strikes against Iran have killed 14 people and left 78 injured, Tehran's health ministry said on Thursday.

"Of the injured, 47 are still hospitalized and the rest have been discharged after receiving medical care," Hossein Kermanpour, the ministry's head of public relations posted on X.

The United States launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar in crossfire that again threatened an interim deal intended to help end the war.

The strikes came hours after US President Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of the fragile ceasefire.

The US struck a variety of military sites and port facilities early Wednesday after Iran targeted several merchant vessels off the coast of Oman, sparking Iranian fire then as well.
