US strikes on Iran

Explosions were reported across several Iranian provinces after the US launched its seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran.

The US launched fresh strikes on Iranian military targets linked to the Strait of Hormuz as Iran claimed retaliatory attacks on US bases in Bahrain and Jordan.

The US launched a seven-hour military operation targeting Iranian military sites near the Strait of Hormuz after reimposing a naval blockade.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly wounded and staying out of public view as American forces target thousands of sites across Iran.
