Washington: The US has carried out new strikes in Iran targeting a military site that officials believed posed a threat to US forces and commercial maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a US official said.
The official, who spoke to Reuters on Wednesday (US time) on condition of anonymity, said the military had also intercepted and shot down multiple Iranian drones that posed a similar threat.
Iranian media reported that three explosions were heard east of the port city of Bandar Abbas about 1.30am on Thursday (Iranian time), adding that air defences were activated for several minutes and that authorities were following up to determine the origin of the sounds.
