US forces began an additional round of strikes 3 p.m. ET, after early-morning attacks that targeted an island near the Strait of Hormuz, APA reports citing CNN.
The new strikes focused on “Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels freely transiting through the Strait of Hormuz,” US Central Command said in a post on X. The statement didn’t specify the area of the strikes.
“The US military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the post added.
