Primorske noviceIndependentCenterFactual 60Objective 5511 days agoThe United States has conducted new attacks against targets in Iran in response to ongoing aggression against commercial shipping traffic. The U.S. Central Command stated that these strikes were a direct reaction to Iran's actions, including the attack on the Panamanian-flagged oil tanker MT Kiku by a drone. The attacks targeted approximately ten locations near the Strait of Hormuz, including communication systems, air defense systems, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities. President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. would escalate attacks if Tehran continued targeting ships. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed they launched rockets and drones at U.S. infrastructure in Kuwait and Bahrain, which both countries confirmed had activated their air defenses. These attacks occurred after the June 17 agreement between the two nations aimed at establishing a ceasefire and negotiating a lasting peace.

Tagesschau (ARD)State / PublicCenterFactual 20Objective 3011 days agoOn June 28, 2026, the United States conducted another attack on Iranian targets in response to an alleged Iranian strike on a freighter. The U.S. military stated that the attacks targeted missile defense sites, drone storage facilities, and surveillance infrastructure along the Strait of Hormuz. According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), these actions were taken due to 'ongoing Iranian aggression against civilian shipping.' Earlier, the UK’s Maritime Security Agency reported that a Panamanian-flagged tanker named 'Kiku' was struck by an unknown projectile, though the exact circumstances remain unclear. This marks the second U.S. attack on Iran since the signing of a framework agreement between the two countries in mid-June. In retaliation, Iran reportedly attacked U.S.-backed military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait using missiles and drones. Tensions continue to escalate in the Gulf region.
