US begins strikes against Iran day after Trump’s warning
On Tuesday, the U.S. military executed military operations targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites in Iran, per a CENTCOM report on X. This action followed a series of recent assaults by the IRGC on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and American personnel stationed in the region. The strikes came after a period of military calm spanning a month.
At 12 p.m. ET, U.S. forces initiated strikes on IRGC targets in Iran. The strikes were in response to Iran's recent actions and President Trump's warning against Iran, which is portrayed as a nation on the brink of ruin with no operational military, currency, or leadership. Iran's foreign minister called for the U.S. to return to prior agreements, while oil prices surged following the U.S. strikes.
