US military launches strikes against Iran, Central Command says
U.S. Central Command said the strikes were meant to punish attacks on civilian crews and warned Iran’s aggression could jeopardize the ceasefire.
- Early Wednesday, the United States military launched over 80 strikes against Iranian targets following Tehran's alleged attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Washington withdrew a key concession on Tuesday allowing Iran to sell oil on international markets, citing the shipping attacks; oil prices rose more than 3%.
- Retaliating Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted U.S. sites in Bahrain's Fifth Naval District and Kuwait, where the Kuwaiti army confronted 'hostile' missile attacks.
- U.S. Central Command stated American forces remain 'postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable,' while Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters condemned the strikes as a 'blatant act of aggression.'
- These hostilities violate the 60-day ceasefire intended for permanent peace negotiations, which had already stalled following the February death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
