US military is conducting fresh strikes on Iran

WASHINGTON, July ‌8 (Reuters) - ​The ​U.S. military is conducting fresh ‌strikes on Iran, the ⁠U.S. Central Command said ‌on Wednesday, hours ‌after President Donald Trump declared that an interim ​agreement to end the war with ⁠Iran was "over."

It said the strikes ​were aimed at degrading Iran's ability to ​threaten freedom of ‌navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

"The ⁠United States is holding Iran accountable for ⁠recent unjustified aggression against ​commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital ‌international waterway," U.S. Central Command wrote in ‌a post ⁠on X.
