The United States has launched additional military strikes against Iran, further escalating tensions as President Donald Trump seeks a deal that would extend a ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and address Tehran’s nuclear programme.
According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), American forces targeted Iranian military surveillance, communications systems, and air defence sites across Iran. In response, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced the immediate closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Key developments:
- CENTCOM said US strikes targeted military infrastructure across Iran.
- Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and warned vessels against entering the waterway.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed retaliatory strikes against US-linked military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.
The latest exchanges represent a significant escalation in the US-Iran conflict and pose renewed risks to regional stability, global energy markets, and ongoing diplomatic mediation efforts led by Qatar and Pakistan.
