The US military carried out another wave of strikes on Iran on Wednesday, hours after President Donald Trump said that an interim agreement to end the war was \u201cover\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Iranian state media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas in the strait of Hormuz; in Sirik, another southern coastal city; and the south-western Bushehr province, home to Iran\u2019s nuclear-power-plant complex.<\/p>\n

Alongside a picture purporting to be an explosion in Chabahar, Trump wrote on Truth Social: \u201cThis is in retribution for yesterday\u2019s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!\u201d<\/p>\n

US Central Command confirmed the strikes, posting on X: \u201cAt the direction of the Commander in Chief, US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wednesday night\u2019s strikes were expected to be bigger than those carried out on Tuesday, an unnamed US official told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Iranian state TV reported that further explosions were heard on Abu Musa Island. The island is one of three small islands claimed by the United Arab Emirates which provide the backbone of Iran\u2019s control of the strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Mehr news agency reported that the attacks on Bushehr province in southern Iran did not cause damage to the Bushehr nuclear power plant.<\/p>\n

The US senator Bernie Sanders said of Trump\u2019s action: \u201cRestarting his reckless war with Iran won\u2019t make America stronger. It will cost more lives and waste more taxpayer dollars.\u201d In a post on X, Sanders added that \u201cafter getting the United States into a war based on lies, Trump has now declared the ceasefire with Iran \u2018over\u2019 after less than a month\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday the US hit a variety of military sites and port facilities after Iran\u2019s targeting of several merchant vessels off the coast of Oman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier at the Nato summit in Ankara<\/a>, Trump said that the US would \u201cprobably hit [Iran] hard again tonight\u201d, and later added the latest strikes would not result in \u201clong-term\u201d military action.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that happens is going to happen very fast,\u201d Trump said, though he also suggested the US military might \u201cjust finish the job\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of the summit, the US president said the strikes were continued retaliation for Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are behaving very badly,\u201d he said, accusing the country of launching drones and a missile at ships.<\/p>\n

Iran has asserted that the interim ceasefire deal gives it the right to manage traffic through the strait.<\/p>\n

Its parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a key negotiator in talks over a permanent end to the war, wrote on X: \u201cThe era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere.
