The United States launched additional military strikes on southern Iran, following President Donald Trump’s indication that further attacks were imminent after an earlier round of aerial exchanges. Explosions were reported in port cities including Bandar Abbas and Sirik, and Iranian state media described missile impacts on multiple sites, including the disputed island of Abu Musa. Trump stated on social media that the strikes were retaliation for Iran’s bombing of ships and warned worse consequences if such actions recurred. The US military said the operation aimed to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation marks the worst direct confrontation since a June ceasefire deal, which Trump declared “over.” Iran has not commented on the latest strikes but previously vowed an “immediate response” to any US attack.
