The US military has carried out a wave of strikes on Iran overnight – targeting
dozens of Iranian military installations, including air-defence systems,
coastal radar facilities, and missile and drone sites.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it retaliated
with strikes on US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.
The US says the attacks are a response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz – Iran says the waterway is closed until further notice, while the US insists it is
open.
In a statement detailing Sunday night’s strikes, Centcom said US forces are “postured and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping”.
In June, both sides agreed a ceasefire as part of a “memorandum of understanding” – but last week, Donald Trump said the ceasefire was “over”, while calling Iran’s leadership “scum”.
