Trump Says US Striking Iran Near Hormuz, Threatens Far Larger Attack if Tehran Retali
CENTCOM said the strikes followed IRGC attempts to attack commercial shipping and came after 84 vessels were redirected, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the United States began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets near the Strait of Hormuz at noon Eastern time. President Donald Trump described the operation as a large, powerful retaliation for Iranian threats to commercial shipping.
- These strikes follow a two-day spike in fighting after Iranian attempts to deploy naval mines in the Strait. CENTCOM forces previously struck two IRGC missile launchers on Larak Island on Sunday, triggering escalation.
- Explosions occurred across southern Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Chabahar. Iranian state media reported two people were killed, while an IRGC spokesperson warned the United States would "regret its new attacks."
- President Trump warned that if Iran retaliates, "they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level," with a larger attack "waiting in the wings." He stated very little would remain of the Islamic Republic if conflict escalates.
- The Embassy in Jerusalem warned Americans that the regional security environment remains volatile and could deteriorate without warning. As of Sept 1, CENTCOM reported redirecting 84 commercial vessels and disabling three to enforce the blockade.
