- U.S. Central Command linked the strikes to alleged recent Iranian Revolutionary Guard attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. troops in the region.

The United States has resumed attacks on targets in Iran, according to the U.S. military, as hostilities reignited after a month without military action.
U.S. Central Command said the strikes followed recent alleged attempts by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the country’s ideological military force, to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. troops deployed in the region.
The U.S. military said Sunday that it had struck rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by launching missiles toward U.S. locations in Jordan, which were intercepted. The United Arab Emirates also said it had stopped an Iranian drone over its waters.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that further attacks on Iran might be necessary.
