US carries out new wave of attacks on Iran US Central Command (Centcom) forces carried out a new round of attacks against Iran this Wednesday (8), with the aim of reducing the country's ability to attack commercial ships and civilian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the statement issued by American forces, the military action reached around 90 strategic targets along the Iranian coast. Among the structures destroyed or damaged are air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure. Valiollah Hayati, deputy governor of Khuzestan, told reporters that three people were killed and several injured in the attack on the outskirts of the city of Ahvaz, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.

According to the US government, the initial retaliation was a direct response to Iran's violation of a ceasefire agreement after the country attacked three commercial vessels sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important sea routes for global trade and oil transportation. Also on Wednesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatened to attack other American military bases in the region after carrying out attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait.

During a press conference in Ankara, Turkey, alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, before an alliance summit, Trump said the pact with Tehran was "over." "For me, I think [the peace agreement] is over. I don't want to deal with them [Iran] anymore. They are scum, they are led by sick people and they are an evil and violent people. (...) I'll talk to my negotiators, but it's a waste of time dealing with them. As far as I know, it's over," said the American president. Trump says ceasefire with Iran is over Shortly afterwards, before a bilateral meeting with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump slightly toned down and said he was "not sure if the agreement will hold", but condemned the fact that Iran had sunk 28 vessels on Tuesday (7) and signaled that the offensive would continue. "I'll give you a little warning: we're going to hit them hard tonight," he told reporters, adding: "If necessary, we will cut off the electricity system and the water treatment plants, but we don't want that." Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz In direct response to the threats, Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz if there are new attacks against the country this Wednesday, according to Iranian broadcaster Press TV. The information came from a security source who spoke anonymously.

The maritime route, through which 20% of all world oil exports pass, had been reopened precisely with last month's agreement. Also on Wednesday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it would attack United States military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The country's armed forces also threatened to expand attacks to other American bases in the region if the US attacks again. The note detailed that the retaliatory attack specifically targeted installations in Arifjan and Ali al-Salem, in Kuwait, and Jufayr and Sheikh Isa, in Bahrain. On Tuesday, Iranian state media had acknowledged explosions in the Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Sirik regions. During the night, sirens were activated in American partner countries and air defense systems were activated. US attacks around 90 Iranian military targets Reproduction
