Summary
The strikes marked the third consecutive night of US attacks on Iran amid a widening confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route through which a significant share of global oil supplies passes. Iran, meanwhile, has insisted it has the authority to regulate traffic through the strait. The US announced a new round of strikes on Iran on Monday, hours after President Donald Trump said that the United States is ' reinstating' a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz .
Furthermore, The new round of attacks followed Trump telling conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, 'We're going to hit them very hard tonight and we're going to hit them hard tomorrow — and there's not a damn thing they can do about it.' 'They have nothing,' Trump added. The group's spokesman declared an 'end to the de-escalation phase' and warned that the 'aggression will not go unanswered or unpunished.' The attack reportedly came as an Iranian aircraft attempted to land at the airport. Centcom previously said it had conducted strikes against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks and coastal surveillance locations.
In addition, U.S. Central Command said Sunday that forces targeted various Iranian vessels and facilities, and it contradicted Tehran's claim that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, insisting that "Iran does not control" the vital shipping lanes. Disruptions to traffic through the waterway have already pushed global oil prices higher. Prices for both types of crude oil recently had slipped back to around the levels they were at before the war with Iran began, after the two sides set an interim agreement on ending the conflict and ships resumed transporting oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
Moreover, Washington denied the regime's claim, with a US official stating no Americans were hurt and no serious damage was done.
