The US military said Saturday it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump's direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war's uneasy ceasefire.

Donald Trump has launched a military strike on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz after the regime violated the ceasefire by attacking US-backed oil tankers.

The developments come during a fragile time for the US and Iran as they work to negotiate a permanent end to the war.
