U.S. forces carry out strikes on missile-related targets in southern Iran despite a ceasefire, according to U.S. Central Command and multiple outlets. On Monday, U.S. Central Command says the attacks include missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines. A spokesperson for Central Command says the strikes are carried out in “self-defence” to protect U.S. troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. The sources report that U.S. officials do not provide further operational details about the locations or timing of the attacks. At the same time, top Iranian negotiators arrive in Doha for talks aimed at ending the war. The reporting frames the strikes as occurring alongside diplomatic efforts, but it does not describe any immediate response from Iranian officials in the provided excerpts. The announcements therefore link the military action to an ongoing negotiation process, while leaving key specifics unconfirmed in the available accounts.
