TEL AVIV, Israel — American cruise missiles and warplanes struck targets across Iran again overnight into Thursday, hours after President Donald Trump vowed to hit the Islamic Republic “hard” for stalling at the negotiating table.

The latest wave followed Iran’s downing of an American Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, an incident that drew dozens of Tomahawk missiles in response and pushed a ceasefire Tehran now calls “meaningless” to the edge of collapse.
