Krieg: US-Militär: Greifen wieder Ziele im Iran an

The US military launched new strikes against Iran, according to its own accounts. These attacks commenced at 12:00 US Eastern Time (19:30 local time in Tehran) and targeted sites belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guard in the country, reported the US military command responsible for the region, Centcom, on X. The strikes were a response to recent attacks by the Revolutionary Guard against maritime trade in the Strait of Hormuz and against US soldiers stationed in the region.

Military tensions had escalated on the weekend with reciprocal strikes in the Persian Gulf. On Sunday, it was announced that US forces had attacked targets in Iran for the first time in weeks. Centcom informed X of "limited, targeted actions" against Iranian Revolutionary Guard mine-laying units. Iran retaliated by bombarding two US military bases in Jordan. Jordanian officials stated that Iranian rockets had been intercepted.
