US and Iran Exchange Fire Near Strait of Hormuz as Trump Issues Stark Warning

For the second consecutive night, the US and Iran engaged in military exchanges in the Gulf region near the Strait of Hormuz. On the night between Saturday and Sunday, the US military struck Iranian targets, including missile and drone storage sites and radar installations, citing violations of a ceasefire agreement. In response, Iran attacked American targets in neighboring countries, with Bahrain activating air raid sirens and Kuwait reporting missile and drone threats.

US Central Command confirmed the strikes targeted Iranian military intelligence infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, and drone storage. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the US attacked five Iranian coastal positions and warned that any breach of the ceasefire contradicts the Islamabad agreement and would halt ongoing diplomatic processes.

US President Donald Trump posted on the social media platform TRUTH, threatening that if the situation escalates, the US might have to complete its mission militarily, warning that "the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist." A US official told Reuters there were reports of American casualties or significant damage to US operations or sites in the area. The Revolutionary Guards declared that control over the Strait of Hormuz's traffic enforcement now rests with Iran and vowed a tougher response to any future violations or aggression, including secondary targets, promising a decisive counterattack.
