The United States launched a fresh wave of military strikes against Iran early Wednesday, targeting more than 80 military sites after three commercial vessels were struck in and around the Strait of Hormuz, marking the sharpest escalation since the two sides agreed to a fragile ceasefire last month.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces carried out the strikes "to impose heavy costs" on Iran for attacking commercial shipping, accusing Tehran of violating the ceasefire.

"Iran's demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
