The U.S. military announced that it launched another series of strikes against Iran. This action follows attacks by the Islamic Republic on ships in the Strait of Hormuz carried out the previous day.

President Donald Trump issued a warning, stating that further military actions could occur. He noted that the Iranian attacks indicate the ceasefire has ended.

The situation is evolving and updates will continue as new information becomes available.
