US forces struck Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Tuesday in response to attempted attacks on commercial shipping and American troops, the US military said, with President Donald Trump vowing a tough response to any counter-attacks.
The strikes were the latest in a series of attacks by both US and Iranian forces in recent days that threaten to reignite the simmering conflict.
Iranian state television reported that several explosions were heard in the country’s south along the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway.
