The exchanges underscored the fragility of a Pakistan-brokered peace process aimed at ending a war launched by the United States and Israel in February, which disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and rattled global energy markets.<br \/>\nIran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday they were taking measures to control traffic in the vital Strait of Hormuz and that violating vessels would be dealt with more firmly than before. The only authorised passage by Tehran passes through a corridor running along Iran\u2019s coast.<br \/>\nIn a statement, they said the strikes \u201cdestroyed eight important US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and at the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman in Bahrain\u201d. \u201cAny enemy aggression, whatever the pretext, even against insignificant targets&#8230; will have a crushing response,\u201d the IRGC said. Air raid sirens rang out twice in Bahrain on Sunday, according to the Gulf nation\u2019s interior ministry.<br \/>\nThe Guards said in a statement that the US strikes had violated the ceasefire and \u201cwill result in the complete halt of all diplomatic processes\u201d, according to state-run Press TV. The IRGC navy command said American bases in the region \u201cwill experience hell in the coming days\u201d.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON Tehran said on Sunday it carried out a third day of retaliatory strikes against US attacks on Iranian territory, as both accused the other of violating their fragile ceasefire, straining negotiations meant to end the Middle East war.
