US forces are launching more strikes against Iran, the fourth round since the collapse of the ceasefire last week.
This comes after Iran attacked a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and targeted neighboring Gulf countries on Sunday.
CBS reported earlier,
Tehran expanded its attacks on Gulf neighbors including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman – the nation on the other side of the strait that Tehran has pressed to join in managing traffic there – after the U.S. targeted Iran with strikes Saturday.
Later Sunday, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency cited the governor of Qeshm island, located near the strait, as saying under a dozen projectiles had been fired at military targets there, with no casualties. There was no immediate U.S. military comment. The largest island in the Persian Gulf is home to about 150,000 people.
IRNA said explosions were also heard in the coastal city of Bandar Abbas and inland, in Hajiabad, a city to the north.
The exchanges came as Iran and the U.S. are nearly at the midway point of the 60-day period of their interim deal aimed at reaching a permanent end to the war.
US Central Command announced the latest attack, directed by President Trump, which started at 5 pm and sought to “continue degrading their ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”
At 5 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching more strikes against Iran to continue degrading their ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The Commander in Chief has directed the strikes to hold Iranian forces accountable.

US forces carried out strikes on approximately 140 Iranian military targets last night in response to Iran attacking a Cyprus-flagged container ship and declaring that the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
Following the third round of strikes, CENTCOM released footage of various attacks during the week of July 6-11, where over 300 Iranian military targets were destroyed.
WATCH:
“Targets included Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations,” CENTCOM said of last night’s strikes.
