The US launches more strikes on Iran as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalates
- U.S. Central Command launched new strikes against Iran on Sunday to degrade its ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, following a massive Saturday operation that hit about 140 Iranian military targets.
- Iranian missile and drone assaults on American allies across the Middle East, including Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar, prompted the escalation after Iran targeted a Cyprus-flagged merchant vessel in the Strait.
- Conflicting declarations emerged Sunday regarding the Strait of Hormuz's status, as CENTCOM asserted, "FACT: Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz," while Tehran claimed the waterway was closed until further notice.
- President Donald Trump stated Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, "We bombed the hell out of them last night," while U.S. officials warned to expect a "bigger" wave of attacks.
- These latest strikes raise concerns about whether the broader fighting can be contained, as the White House seeks to pursue talks despite declaring the June ceasefire agreement over last week.
