The US military launched a series of strikes against Iran, US Central Command announced on Tuesday. These strikes were in response to alleged Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
A US military statement indicated that the strikes aim to impose significant costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping. The statement further described Iran’s actions as unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
While the specific targets of the US strikes remain unclear, Iranian media reported that six projectiles hit the area of Taheroui pier in Sirik, located in southern Iran. This marks the first known US military action against Iran since late last month, which saw several days of strikes and counterstrikes between the two.
