Middle East war rekindles as US and Iran resume strike exchange
The United States and Iran continued to trade blows for a sixth day on July 16, as the foes battled over the vital Strait of Hormuz, despite a call from mediator Pakistan to resume talks.
The renewed fighting and US blockade of Iranian ports came a month after a preliminary deal was signed that aimed to end the conflict.
Since last week, the renewed US attacks have killed at least 30 people in Iran, according to its government.
