The U.S. military has continued its strikes against Iranian targets for a third straight day, according to reports from U.S. Central Command. These actions, authorized by President Donald Trump, aim to diminish Iran's capacity to threaten commercial shipping and civilian vessels in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
On the same day, President Trump announced the enforcement of a blockade against Iranian maritime activities, asserting that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open. In a statement shared via social media, Trump declared, "The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as 'THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT.'"
During a live interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump indicated that further military actions were anticipated, stating, "We're gonna hit them very hard tonight, and hit them very hard tomorrow. And there's not a damn thing they can do about it."
The ongoing strikes have elicited a response from Tehran, which has retaliated against Gulf nations, potentially jeopardizing a temporary agreement designed to ease tensions in the Middle East.
This situation remains fluid, with developments expected in the coming days.
