US Night Strike Attacks Against Iran Continue on Their Seventh Day

The US military continues to conduct airstrikes against Iran for the seventh consecutive night, following President Donald Trump's announcement that the temporary ceasefire agreement has ended. Central Command (Centcom) reported that American forces are continuing their attacks aimed at collapsing Iran's military capacity, in accordance with the orders of the Commander-in-Chief.

Tensions in the region are also manifesting around the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that two oil tankers exploded and caught fire on a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz; however, this claim was denied by the US. Iranian media reported that explosion sounds were heard in the city of Yazd, as well as on Qeshm Island and in the port of Bandar Abbas.

With the escalation of tensions, ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply, has largely stopped. Meanwhile, Iran claimed to have attacked American bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Syria, while Kuwaiti officials confirmed that soldiers were injured and infrastructure was damaged in Iranian drone attacks.
