Summary
The United States launched fresh airstrikes on Iran, targeting critical air defense networks, radar systems, anti-ship missile batteries, and drone launch pads, according to US officials. President Donald Trump warned Tehran to 'better behave' amid escalating tensions. In a separate development, Trump announced that Iran has released a US citizen who was 'wrongfully detained in December of 2024,' stating she is now safely outside Iran and in good condition.
Meanwhile, a hospital in Ahvaz, in southwestern Iran, was evacuated following the US airstrikes, with patients transferred to other medical centers. Trump also barred ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports, days after Tehran attacked a commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed. Vice President JD Vance claimed that some Israeli officials want an 'indefinite' conflict, though this was not confirmed by Israeli sources.
