US Conducts Fresh Round of Strikes in Iran After Second Ship Hit
U.S. Central Command said the strikes hit 10 targets, including air defenses and drone storage sites, after a one-way drone attack on a merchant vessel.
- US forces launched a fresh wave of precision airstrikes inside Iran overnight, retaliating after a commercial oil tanker was struck by an Iranian drone near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
- The escalation was triggered by a drone strike on the M/T Kiku, a Panama-flagged tanker carrying over two million barrels of crude oil. The vessel suffered damage to its bridge, though the crew was reported safe.
- CENTCOM targeted 10 distinct Iranian military assets in the retaliatory blitz, deploying Navy and Air Force fighter jets to strike air defense sites, communication systems, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities around Qeshm Island and Sirik.
- Tehran immediately retaliated by firing missiles and drones at US regional assets, claiming the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted eight US military sites, including Kuwait's Ali Al Salem Air Base and the US Fifth Fleet naval headquarters in Bahrain.
- The rapid back-and-forth pushes a fragile Middle East ceasefire to the brink of collapse, prompting President Donald Trump to issue a stark warning on social media that the US is prepared to "militarily complete the job" if Tehran continues to violate shipping agreements.
