The US military launched fresh strikes against Iran on Saturday after Tehran targeted another vessel near the Strait of Hormuz.

US Central Command said navy and air force jets targeted military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities in response to an Iranian one-way drone attack on the Panama-flagged M/T Kiku oil tanker as it was transiting near the Strait.

"After yesterday’s U.S. strikes in response to the Iranian attack on M/V Ever Lovely, Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to," CENTCOM said in a statement.
