This warning comes as the US military intensified its strikes against Iran. US Central Command announced it had completed a new series of strikes targeting Iranian command centers, air defense systems, and missile and drone capabilities. These strikes, which concluded Wednesday evening, aimed to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM also reported separate strikes earlier in the day on Greater Tunb Island, targeting coastal defense and cruise missile sites. Meanwhile, Iranian authorities reported that missile attacks struck areas near a cancer hospital in Ahvaz and caused damage to an industrial facility in Qeshm. The exact origin of these Iranian-reported attacks remains unclear in the context of the US strikes.
