U.S. Central Command launches new Iran strikes
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) launched a new round of airstrikes on Iran, targeting its ability to attack commercial ships and sailors in the Strait of Hormuz. These strikes mark the ninth consecutive night of aerial attacks authorized by President Donald Trump. The strikes come amid an unprecedented military escalation, with Trump stating that the actions are "in honor" of American soldiers killed in recent days, and warning that Iran will face "double the punishment" for every soldier lost in the region. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on American bases in Kuwait and Jordan, and suspended its commitment to a memorandum of understanding with Washington after Trump announced that the ceasefire was no longer valid. The escalation has also heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where two oil tankers exploded while attempting to pass through.
