U.S. launches new strikes against Iran, CENTCOM says
The U.S. launched strikes against targets belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in retaliation for attempted IRGC attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on U.S. service members. U.S. Central Command announced the strikes, which began at noon Eastern, stating they followed recent attacks from Iran in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The strikes signal a resumption of the tit-for-tat strike cycle between the U.S. and Iran.
These strikes are a direct response to escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and demonstrate the U.S. commitment to retaliating against Iranian aggression against commercial and military targets.
The episode also covers the resignation of Army Secretary Dan Driskell and discussions regarding a U.S. deal with Venezuela to potentially impact oil prices.
