June 11 (Reuters) - Most Gulf markets ended lower on Thursday after fresh U.S. strikes on Iran, with President Donald Trump warning of further attacks unless a peace deal is secured.

The U.S. and Iran traded airstrikes for a second straight day, with the latest escalation having been triggered earlier this week by the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, which set off reciprocal strikes across Iran and against U.S. bases in the region.

Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. strikes.
