US Launches New Strikes on Iran

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that new attacks were carried out against various targets in Iran for “self-defense” purposes on the orders of President Donald Trump. This move will increase military tensions with Iran, with CENTCOM stating the actions are a response to Iran’s unjust and ongoing aggression. In a separate statement, CENTCOM reported that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ claim that the Strait of Hormuz was closed is untrue, confirming that commercial ships continue to enter and exit the strait. Furthermore, the command denied claims that Iran attacked a US warship, clarifying that no American vessel was hit.
