The administration launched a sixth consecutive night of strikes against Iran as tensions escalate over the Strait of Hormuz.

The administration announced that U.S. forces conducted a sixth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, targeting dozens of military objectives including coastal surveillance, air defense sites, and maritime capabilities. These operations follow a breakdown in the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, leading to a renewed naval blockade of Iranian ports. The strikes have caused significant damage to both military and civilian infrastructure. While the administration focused on degrading Iranian military power, Iranian officials reported that the attacks hit railway stations, airports, and six bridges in the Hormozgan province. The strikes also impacted civilian life, with reports of power outages and a one-year-old child being wounded by shrapnel. In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have struck U.S. facilities in Syria, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The administration maintains that the strikes are a necessary consequence of Iran violating the previous agreement by firing on commercial vessels. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the administration remains open to peace talks but insists that Iran must face consequences for its actions in the strategic waterway.
