US military strikes Iranian boats, missile launch sites: CENTCOM
CENTCOM said the strikes targeted missile launch sites and mine-laying boats as Trump said negotiations with Iran were proceeding nicely.
- The United States confirmed on Monday it had targeted military facilities in Iran in "self defense," CNN reported, with strikes in Bandar Abbas near the Strait of Hormuz targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines.
- Maritime tensions escalated after Iran closed the vital Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. military blocked Iranian ports on February 28, disrupting global fuel supplies as the conflict continues amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
- Semi-Official Iranian media reported explosions in Bandar Abbas and nearby coastal regions, while authorities asserted no cause for concern; U.S. Central Command stated it continues defending forces with restraint under the ceasefire beginning April 8.
- A top Iran official said on state media that "there will be no retreat," while Trump demanded on Monday that enriched uranium be removed from Iran or destroyed in place with the Atomic Energy Commission as witness.
- Trump has repeatedly called for Iran's uranium stockpile to be removed and sent to the U.S. or another location, a position a senior White House official told NBC News has been consistently communicated to Iran as negotiations remain deadlocked.
