US unleashes fresh strikes on Iran
The United States has launched a fresh wave of military strikes against Iran, escalating tensions in the Middle East as Washington moves to counter what it says are threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Confirming the operation, US Central Command said the strikes were ordered “to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz”.
It added, “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”
