The United States has confirmed the commencement of a new wave of attacks targeting Iran within the last hour. According to reports from the US Central Command, the directive for these attacks was issued by Donald Trump, intended “to hold Iranian forces accountable.” The stated objective of the action is to further diminish Iran’s capacity to attack commercial vessels. Iranian state media has reported registering several explosions in southern Iran during the latter part of the day.
Furthermore, the Fars news agency indicated that new attacks are developing near the Strait of Hormuz. This report mentioned hearing over ten explosions in the areas of Bandar Abbas and Sirik. A point of contention remains regarding the status of the waterway.
While Iran has stated that it has closed the Strait of Hormuz due to repeated attacks, the United States maintains that the strait remains open for passage. These developments represent escalating tensions following the confirmed attacks.
