Washington / Tehran — The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it has conducted a new round of strikes targeting sites inside Iran, describing the military action as a direct response to what it called Tehran’s “unwarranted and continued aggression.”
Iranian state media confirmed explosions in multiple parts of the country, though official casualty figures and details on the targeted locations have yet to be fully disclosed.
The latest strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing military confrontation between Washington and Tehran. Air raid sirens were reportedly heard across several Iranian cities following the attacks, causing widespread panic among civilians.
The international community, including the United Nations and key European powers, has called for immediate de-escalation, warning that further military action risks destabilizing the broader Middle East region. Global oil markets reacted sharply, with crude prices surging amid fears of prolonged conflict disrupting supply routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
World leaders are closely monitoring the rapidly deteriorating situation as both nations show no immediate signs of standing down.
