WASHINGTON: The United States launched a third consecutive night of military strikes against Iran, further escalating an already tense confrontation in the region, according to the US Central Command.
Explosions were reported in several locations across southern Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Qeshm, Kish and Abu Musa, according to local reports. The strikes added to growing concerns over the widening impact of the conflict and the possibility of further instability in the Gulf region.
The latest wave of attacks followed an earlier statement by US President Donald Trump, who warned that more strikes would be carried out. He also announced that the Kolang Gaz La mountain area in central Iran would be targeted as part of the continuing military campaign.
The repeated attacks marked another major development in the confrontation between Washington and Tehran, with both sides facing mounting international pressure to prevent further escalation. The situation has heightened security concerns in a region already affected by political tensions, military deployments and economic uncertainty.
The continued exchange of strikes has drawn attention from the international community, with fears that prolonged hostilities could have broader consequences for regional peace and global energy markets.
As military operations continued, diplomatic efforts remained focused on preventing the conflict from expanding beyond the current front lines. Countries in the region have urged restraint and called for steps to reduce tensions and avoid a larger confrontation. The latest US strikes represented the third successive night of action against Iran, underlining the rapidly changing security environment in the Middle East.
