Iran announces a series of retaliatory strikes on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, vowing that Washington's military facilities will experience hell in the coming days. That's as the US bombs Iran for a second night in a row - in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. It's all piling huge pressure on the preliminary peace agreement - that the two countries signed 11 day ago. Backlash on two fronts. An Israeli government minister calls the US-brokered framework with Lebanon a 'big mistake' - while Hezbollah says it's dead on arrival. People in Beirut aren't happy either. Venezuelan emergency services work around the clock to save locals trapped under the rubble following the devastating double earthquake. The tragedy has killed at least 14-hundred people, but tens of thousands are still missing.
