U.S. military says it’s hitting new targets in Iran as hostilities flare again
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military says it’s striking new targets in Iran as hostilities flare again after a month without military action.
U.S. Central Command said Tuesday that the strikes “follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region.”
On Sunday, the U.S. military said it struck rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by launching missiles at U.S. sites in Jordan, which were intercepted, while United Arab Emirates said it stopped an Iranian drone over its waters.
President Donald Trump acknowledged Monday that more strikes might be necessary.
