The United States and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day, as US leaders accused their counterparts of dragging out negotiations for a deal to end the three-month war.
Iranian media reported explosions across the south near the Strait of Hormuz, with explosions heard in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Minab, and sources reporting hits by "enemy projectiles" in Kargan and Sirik.
CENTCOM said later that it had "completed" its strikes on "Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites".
American forces "fired precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a threat to U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters", it added.
The strikes came after US President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly said negotiations with Tehran were close to an end, said Wednesday that Iran keeps "playing us for suckers" and will now "have to pay the price".
