The US military released footage of its overnight attacks on Iran<\/p>\n

The US military has carried out a wave of strikes on Iran overnight – targeting
\ndozens of Iranian military installations, including air-defence systems,
\ncoastal radar facilities, and missile and drone sites.<\/p>\n

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it retaliated
\nwith strikes on US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.<\/p>\n

The US says the attacks are a response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz – Iran says the waterway is closed until further notice, while the US insists it is
\nopen.<\/p>\n

In a statement detailing Sunday night’s strikes, Centcom said US forces are “postured and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping”.<\/p>\n

In June, both sides agreed a ceasefire as part of a “memorandum of understanding” – but last week, Donald Trump said the ceasefire was “over”, while calling Iran’s leadership “scum”.<\/p>\n
