The US military carried out multiple strikes on Iran on Tuesday, with US Central Command stating the action followed alleged Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. "U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping," a U.S. military statement said. "Iran's demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire," it added. This marks the first known US military strikes against Iran since late last month, when there were several days of strikes and counterstrikes between the two.
