The United States has said it launched new airstrikes on Iran for attacks against US forces in Jordan after its first military deaths since renewing its hostilities with Tehran.
US Central Command (Centcom) said on X that the strikes began at 2200 GMT and “are designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night.”
Iranian news agencies Fars and Tasnim have simultaneously reported US attacks on Sirik, a port located on the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran.
