US President Donald Trump has said that his military will "probably" strike Iran again later on Wednesday.

It comes after fighting between Iran and the US flared up again overnight, with the US striking dozens of Iranian targets in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington also reinstated oil sanctions on Iran.

Tehran retaliated by targeting US military assets in Bahrain and Kuwait.

After saying earlier on Wednesday that he thought the ceasefire with Iran was now "over," Trump later said that the US would "probably hit them hard again tonight."

Speaking at the NATO summit alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump said he would give Iran "a little warning" before ordering new strikes.

"We're going to hit them hard tonight, but we'll see how it all works out."
