The United States military announced that it is undertaking a new series of strikes on Iran. This decision follows Iranian assaults on ships in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, reported the day prior by the U.S. Defense Department.
President Donald Trump had earlier declared that Iranian attacks marked the termination of an existing ceasefire. In response, he warned of potential further military actions against Iran.
This announcement coincides with ongoing military operations and heightened tensions in the region.
This is a developing story and further updates will be provided as the situation unfolds.
