The US and Iran have returned to firing on each other in the Middle East. Tehran targeted US military sites in the Gulf after Washington attacked rocket launchers on the Iranian island of Larak in the Strait of Hormuz. The US Central Command has rejected Tehran's accusation of an "act of aggression", saying it took "limited and precise action" to ward off the planting of Iranian mines in Hormuz. Iran said it caused "heavy damage" at two US air bases in Jordan and also claimed to have targeted an air base housing US personnel in the United Arab Emirates. Nick Harper reports from Washington DC.
