US strikes Iran for 9th consecutive night as Gulf states face retaliation

Share

Washington: According to the US Central Command, US forces launched a new wave of strikes against Iran on Sunday evening for the ninth consecutive night. The latest attack began at 7 p.m. on Sunday.

The U.S. Central Command said the attacks would “continue to degrade Iran’s military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”

As of Sunday, the U.S. military had diverted six commercial vessels and seized another to ensure compliance as the United States continued to enforce the blockade of Iranian naval vessels, according to U.S. Central Command.

In response, Iran fired a new wave of missiles from Iran’s western Lorestan province toward “enemy targets,” the official IRNA news agency reported on Monday. The semi-official Fars news agency reported on Monday that multiple explosions were heard in southern Iran’s Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces.
