The US unleashed a fresh wave of strikes on Iran, its second in two days, in response to the regime\u2019s attacks across the region, President Trump said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians\u2019 failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!\u201d he warned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The strikes began at 12 p.m. EST, with US Central Command noting that the attacks are focused against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which oversees the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region,\u201d CENTCOM said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The US renewed its airstrike campaign on Iran on Sunday as it targeted IRGC facilities attempting to place mines in the Strait.<\/p>\n
