"At 3 pm ET, U.S. forces launched operations for a second wave of strikes today against Iran. The strikes are targeting Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels freely transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, an international waterway vital to global commerce. The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction," CENTCOM said in its post.
US Prez says "Better behave"
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday while speaking to the media issued a stern warning against Iran, saying "they better behave" if Tehran wants renegotiations with Washington to resume.
In an interview, Trump claimed that Iran wanted to meet and was interested in reaching a settlement with Washington.
"We'll find out if we settle with them," he said, adding, "They better behave."
Following the fresh air strikes launched by US, Iranian media reported explosions in the southern cities of Ahvaz and Chabahar, although it remains unclear whether the blasts were directly linked to the US military operation.
The latest offensive came after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) concluded an earlier round of strikes at 7:30 am ET on Wednesday, marking a continued escalation in US military action against Iran.
According to CENTCOM, US forces carried out a 90-minute operation using precision-guided munitions against Iranian coastal defence systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island.
