US Central Command said the operation is a response to an attack on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz
The US has launched a third wave of strikes against Iran this week, shortly after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the strategic Strait of Hormuz would remain closed to all shipping indefinitely.
The resumption of hostilities has put the memorandum of understanding the two countries signed on June 17 under strain. The agreement was intended to pave the way for a lasting ceasefire and allow more time to negotiate a peace settlement.
In a statement on Saturday evening local time, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the new strikes were launched after the IRGC had “blatantly” attacked the Cyprus-flagged container ship GFS Galaxy, causing a fire in its engine room. One crew member is missing, CENTCOM said.
“The United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the strait,” the US military added.
“Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay,” US War Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on X after the strikes began.
