Middle East Live: US Air Strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island Kill Three People
CENTCOM said the strikes hit dozens of IRGC sites and aimed to curb threats to U.S. forces, shipping and Gulf states, officials said.
- On Thursday, The United States Central Command launched a heavy wave of strikes against Iran, hitting dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets including military command centers, missile facilities, and coastal surveillance sites.
- These strikes came hours after President Donald Trump promised to hit Iran "very hard" following Iranian missile attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan, where Jordanian air defenses shot down five missiles.
- Strikes were concentrated in Iran's southern provinces along the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, with explosions reported in Abadan, Kazerun, and Kish. Iranian officials claim a residential building on Qeshm Island was hit, trapping three people.
- On Wednesday, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on two Iranian firms integral to an IRGC-backed "scheme" forcing commercial vessels to buy insurance to transit Hormuz. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the U.S. will not allow Iran to "hold global commerce hostage."
- Pentagon official David Des Roches told Al Jazeera the strikes were "not a very overwhelming attack," suggesting President Trump is "trying to keep things proportionate, or to keep things open for diplomacy.
