The United States has carried out a seventh consecutive night of military strikes against Iran, intensifying hostilities after President Donald Trump declared that the temporary ceasefire between the two countries had ended.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the latest wave of attacks targeted Iranian surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage facilities and maritime capabilities.
According to CENTCOM, the operation concluded at about 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time (02:30 BST) after several hours, with US forces deploying fighter aircraft, drones, warships and other military assets.
The renewed offensive comes days after Trump announced that the ceasefire brokered in June to facilitate negotiations aimed at ending the conflict was no longer in effect, following the collapse of diplomatic talks.
Iran responded by launching attacks against US allies across the Gulf, with Kuwait reporting strikes on critical infrastructure.
