US strikes hit Iran for seventh consecutive night

The US military said it carried out the seventh night of strikes on Iran since President Donald Trump declared the temporary ceasefire agreement was "over".



In a statement shared on X, US Central Command (Centcom) wrote that its forces "hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities".



Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said two oil tankers had exploded in the Strait of Hormuz while passing through a mined part of the shipping channel. That was dismissed as false by Centcom.



Jordan's armed forces said it had intercepted 10 Iranian missiles fired into its airspace overnight, though there were no casualties or damage.

Centcom said it had ended its strikes at 21:30 ET (02:30 BST) after several hours.



"U.S. forces employed fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships in addition to other assets," it said in its statement.



Iran's state-run Fars agency had said two oil tankers "exploded and caught fire while passing through a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz". Later, Centcom posted on X: "Like most IRGC claims, this is false."
