The US and Iran military are again exchanging fire in the Persian Gulf and accusing each other of breaching ceasefire, shortly after tit-for-tat strikes citing ship attack in the Strait of Hormuz.

The crossfires come amid the tensions following a recently signed interim agreement and continued negotiations between the two sides.

Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister insists during a state visit to Iraq that Tehran must govern the strait alone and that any attempts to adopt new or separate arrangements will only lead to delays in its reopening.

Sirens blare across Kuwait City early Sunday as both Kuwait and Bahrain say their territories are under missile and drone fire from Iran. Kuwait Armed Forces say they have intercepted two ballistic missiles with no casualties or material damage reported.

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard Corps declares its naval and air forces targeted eight key US military infrastructures in the two Gulf nations.

In a statement read out on state television, the Guards has threatened to completely halt negotiations to end the Middle East war if the Pentagon continues attacks.

Explosions were heard in southern Iran, near the port of Sirik, the focal point of Friday's US bombings. Iranian news sources also indicate Qeshm County has been hit by a barrage of projectiles.

US President Donald Trump takes to social media, announcing their forces have struck Iran's missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites for the nation's repeated violation of the interim ceasefire agreement.

He warns of a point where the US will no longer be reasonable and will be forced to "militarily complete the job."

A footage released by the US Central Command shows the second day of strikes and bursts in and around the strait that are for Iran's "drone attack on M/T Kiku."

The Panamanian-flagged vessel carrying crude oil was hit at sea Saturday morning when it was bound for the United Arab Emirates, according to ship tracking websites.

A similar attack on merchant vessel "Ever Lovely" off the coast of Oman has triggered back and forth strikes between the US and Iran.

The Joint Maritime Information Centre overseen by the US Navy says it will expand a route near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz - the narrow waterway where around one-fifth of global oil and gas supplies transits through - in a bid to allow for inbound and outbound traffic.

Referring to the maritime arrangements, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi points out during talks with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad that the responsibility to bring back maritime traffic to pre-war levels in the strait "solely lies with Tehran."
