US forces have launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iranian military targets, with local media reporting explosions along the south coast.
The United States has launched another wave of military strikes against Iran, with Iranian local media reporting multiple explosions across the country's southern coastline. Blasts were reported near the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas, while Iran's semi-official Fars news agency also said explosions were heard in Bushehr province, although the exact targets were not immediately confirmed. The latest attacks come after President Donald Trump declared that the recently brokered ceasefire with Tehran was "over", accusing Iran of renewed aggression in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said the strikes were aimed at military infrastructure linked to Iran's operations in the Gulf and were carried out in response to recent attacks on commercial shipping. Iranian officials have condemned the raids and warned of a "crushing response", while global markets remain on edge over the risk of further escalation in one of the world's most important oil transit routes. The renewed fighting has raised fears that the conflict could widen once again despite recent diplomatic efforts to halt the violence.
