US military carries out new strikes in Iran

The US military carried out new strikes in Iran on Wednesday, targeting a site around the Strait of Hormuz that posed a threat to US forces and commercial traffic, according to a US official.

The US also shot down four Iranian attack drones that posed a threat, the official said.

US forces struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone. These actions were measured, purely defensive and intended to maintain the ceasefire, they added.
