US Central Command, which oversees American military forces in the Middle East, confirms launching fresh strikes on Iran after it attacked a commercial oil tanker with a drone.
In a statement, CENTCOM says Iran had been “given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to” by attacking the ship, which followed US strikes in response to a previous Iranian attack.
CENTCOM says the latest strikes “targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities.”
“Commercial vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz continue,” it adds. “US forces remain vigilant, lethal, and ready.”

“If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist.”
