The United States military on Wednesday carried out another round of strikes on Iran after the Islamic Republic attacked ships in Strait of Hormuz a day earlier.
The US Central Command, CENTCOM, made this announcement in a post on its verified X handle on Wednesday.
This came a few hours after President Donald Trump threatened to unleash more military action against Iran after saying that the Iranian attacks signaled the end of the ceasefire.
“At the direction of the Commander in Chief, the US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” CENTCOM wrote on X.
