US launches fresh strikes on Iran, as Trump warns of retaliation for deaths of soldiers - Published The US military says it launched another round of strikes against Iran to "further degrade" its capabilities to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump earlier said Iran had been hit "very hard" the previous night "in honour" of three US soldiers killed recently - two in Jordan and one in Iraq. Iran said it had targeted sites in Bahrain, Jordan and Syria, with President Masoud Pezeshkian saying Iran was now fighting a "full-scale war" with the US. US Central Command (Centcom) said on X that the latest strikes had hit Iranian "military command centres, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems". Commercial vessels have continued to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Centcom said. Bahrain said drones launched by Iran had targeted its air navigation systems - but traffic remained unaffected.
