WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has launched a new wave of strikes against Iran, U.S. Central Command confirmed on Wednesday. The military action came just hours after President Donald Trump announced that an interim agreement designed to bring an end to the conflict with Iran was “over.”
According to U.S. Central Command, the strikes are specifically aimed at weakening Iran’s ability to threaten the free flow of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical international waterway used for global commerce.
In a statement posted to X, U.S. Central Command said: “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”
