The United States carries out new military strikes against targets inside Iran, according to multiple reports citing US officials and CENTCOM statements. The latest action targets a military site described as a ground control or related facility near Bandar Abbas, which the US says posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic and US forces in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Reports say American forces also intercept Iranian drone launches associated with the operation. In one account, US forces shoot down several Iranian “one-way” attack drones, preventing further attacks. The strikes take place shortly after earlier US actions against missile-related sites and mine-laying vessels, as described by some outlets. Several reports also place the strikes within the broader context of ongoing negotiations and diplomatic efforts to end a war that has lasted about three months. Iran and regional parties report explosions near the Strait of Hormuz and claim intercepts of Iranian attacks on US-linked targets. BBC coverage focuses on CENTCOM’s statement that drones and radar-related sites were struck because they posed an immediate threat to maritime traffic. UN officials warn against escalation toward wider conflict.
