The war continues between America and Iran. Iran once again fired on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to this, the US Army has carried out massive bombings on many cities of Iran. The sound of explosions has been heard in many cities including Bandar Abbas, Sirik. The US Central Command has said that if Iran does not stop firing on ships in Hormuz, it will get a befitting reply.
The situation in the Middle East is once again worsening. The outbreak of war between Iran and America has created a crisis in the Gulf countries. The US accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of targeting commercial ships in Hormuz, after which in retaliation several Iranian cities were heavily bombed.
Action in response to firing on ships in Hormuz
“Today at 5 p.m. ET, U.S. Central Command forces launched further strikes against Iran to further reduce their ability to attack private seafarers and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” Central Command (CENTCOM) wrote in a post on Twitter. This route is very important for the supply of oil and gas around the world.
America targeted these cities of Iran
Iran has informed about the explosions in the southern province. Iranian state media reported several explosions in Hormozgan province in southern Iran late Sunday night. Explosions were reported in Jask, Qeshm, Bandar Abbas and Sirik, although local officials said there were no civilian deaths and no damage to residential or commercial infrastructure.
Iran condemned US action
Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned America’s recent actions, saying that these attacks have nullified the diplomatic efforts made in the last few months to reduce tensions in West Asia. The ministry has said that these barbaric attacks are not only a gross violation of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter. But it is also a serious threat to international peace and security.
