  "account": "US forces resumed military strikes against Iran on Tuesday, according to US Central Command (Centcom). Centcom blamed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for recent attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and American service members in the region. Centcom initiated the strikes at 12:00 ET (16:00 GMT). Iran's state media reported that four projectiles had hit the Iranian provinces of Chabahar and Konarak. The IRGC vowed that the US would regret the strikes, as President Donald Trump vowed renewed attacks if Iran retaliated. Trump's warning came after US forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week. Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported explosions on Qeshm Island, Konarak and Bandar Abbas on Tuesday. Trump confirmed the \"large and powerful\" strikes in response to Iran's missile attack on a US military base in Jordan. He also threatened further action if Iran retaliated, stating, \"It will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\" IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi promised severe punishment for the US and predicted Iran would regret the new attacks.",
