US Strikes Iran Again, Vows More

The Pentagon said the strikes were in self-defence after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted vessels and US military sites.

Iran threatened to completely close the Strait of Hormuz, its most powerful economic weapon.

Trump warned he may also target Iranian electric and desalination plants, raising concerns about war crimes.

The escalation marked the collapse of a fragile three-week ceasefire brokered by Oman.
