Trump confirms US strikes on multiple targets in Iran

Washington - United States President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US military had launched strikes against a number of targets in Iran. “American aircraft have just struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar locations,” Trump said via the Truth Social platform. Trump described the strikes as a response to Iran’s actions, which he said “again violated the ceasefire agreement”. “This is a response to the violation of the ceasefire agreement, again!” he wrote. Trump also warned that Washington could take broader military action if the situation continues to worsen. “There may come a time when we can no longer be reasonable, and will be forced to finish militarily the job we started so successfully. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will be no more!” Trump said. Earlier, Iranian media reported attacks on Qeshm Island and near the city of Sirik, as well as around the port city of Bandar-e Lengeh in the southern part of the country. Meanwhile, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it had struck a number of targets in Iran in response to an alleged Iranian attack on a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
