US Strikes 10 Iranian Military Targets After Drone Attack, Iran Retaliates with Threats

The US Central Command announced overnight that American forces conducted airstrikes on ten Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz for Iran's drone attack on the commercial tanker M/T Kiku. The targeted sites included air defense systems, drone facilities, mine-laying capabilities, communication infrastructure, and surveillance installations. This marked the second consecutive night of US strikes in response to Iranian aggression against commercial shipping in the strategic waterway.

In retaliation, Iran launched attacks on US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, though no casualties were reported. The exchange of threats between Washington and Tehran intensified, with US President Donald Trump warning that if the US completes its military actions, Iran "will no longer exist." Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards vowed a "crushing response" to any further violations.

The escalating conflict highlights ongoing tensions over control and security in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil shipments. Both sides remain on high alert as the situation develops, with potential for further military confrontations in the region.
