The United States has conducted more airstrikes against “multiple targets” in Iran on Saturday as retaliation for recent attacks by the Islamic nation, the US Central Command said.
CENTCOM says that after the US struck Iran Friday in response to an Iranian attack on a ship called the M/V Ever Lovely, the Iran “was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that hit M/T Kiku this morning at 4:30 a.m. ET.”
Military officials said the new Saturday attacks “targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities.”
The military also said that “commercial vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz continue.”
