The US military launched a fresh wave of military strikes against Iran to further degrade Tehran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement came hours after President Donald Trump threatened to unleash more military action against Iran after saying that the Iranian attacks signaled the end of the ceasefire.

In a post shared on X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said, "At the direction of the Commander in Chief, US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz."

"The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway," it added.
