[REGNUM.RU] The United States has begun launching additional strikes against Iran, the country's Central Command reported.
"At the direction of the Supreme Commander, U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching additional strikes against Iran to further weaken its ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," the department noted on social media.
The command said the United States is holding Iran accountable for recent attacks on commercial vessels and civilian crews transiting the international waterway.
On July 8, US President Donald Trump declared the US ceasefire with Iran no longer in effect. He said negotiations with Tehran were no longer feasible. He added that he considered Iran's leadership to be vicious and aggressive. That same day, Trump announced that US negotiators, including special envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, could continue negotiations with the Islamic Republic to reach a final agreement.
Later that day, the White House chief said the US could launch further strikes on Iran in the coming hours.

The United States may launch new strikes on Iran in the coming hours. This was stated by US President Donald Trump on July 8.
The White House chief reported that American forces had already attacked targets on Iranian territory last night. He added that Washington would likely carry out a follow-up strike this evening.
"I'll warn them: we're going to hit them hard this evening. And we'll see what happens," Trump said during a meeting with Kyiv regime leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Ankara.

The United States launched fresh strikes on Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
late Wednesday and into early Thursday morning after striking Iranian targets a day earlier in retaliation for attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which the Islamic Theocratic Republic responded to by attacking sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The Israeli defense establishment was reportedly keeping a close eye on the rising tensions, amid concerns the fighting could quickly escalate and draw Israel back in.
Israeli television also reported the US was returning its refueling planes to the region, after they were removed during the ceasefire that began in early April. Some of the planes, whose presence is a potential signal of the war restarting, were previously parked at Ben Gurion Airport.
According to Channel 12 news, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz were holding a security consultation on Wednesday evening, a day after the US and Iran resumed attacks.
Tehran fired on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the US to hit Iranian targets overnight Tuesday-Wednesday and Iran to retaliate against US targets in the Gulf. Iranian state media reported that eight members of the Iranian navy and air force were killed in US attacks on southern parts of the country, in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr.
While the most recent exchange of fire has remained confined to the Gulf and has not spilled over into Israel, Jerusalem is preparing for multiple scenarios, given concerns that the situation could deteriorate rapidly, Channel 12 reported.
The IDF has reportedly raised its level of readiness across the board, maintaining both defensive and offensive preparations. The military was said to have operational plans ready, fighter jets armed and on standby, and target banks prepared based on updated intelligence.
The report added that the IDF is maintaining close coordination with US Central Command to ensure Israel is prepared for any sudden escalation and was not caught by surprise. The escalation with Iran is likely being seen as a welcome development in Israel, which was not a party to the US-Iran talks, has been wary of them, and has sought to further weaken Tehran’s military and regime.
In a later statement, US Central Command said it hit over 90 Iranian targets, with the attacks aimed at "further degrading Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz."
According to the statement, the latest strikes targeted "air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline." CENTCOM noted the 80 targets struck the previous day.
Following the latest US strikes, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. The IRGC said it struck "key infrastructure and facilities" at US bases in Arifjan and Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, and Juffair and Sheikh Isa in Bahrain with missiles and drones.
It also warned its responses would expand to other bases across the region if US attacks were repeated.
The Kan public broadcaster, meanwhile, reported that the US has begun returning military refueling planes to the Middle East, after they had been evacuated from the region to Europa

PM: CANCELED HEGSETH VISIT ’COULD MEAN SOMETHING’
Also on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceled a planned visit to Israel after being "called back" to Washington. The premier suggested that the cancellation could be a positive development for Israel amid escalating US-Iran tensions.
Asked about the visit during a lengthy Hebrew-language podcast interview with Israeli journalist and former right-wing Knesset member Sharon Gal, Netanyahu said Hegseth "was called back" to the White House from the NATO

IRAN THREATENS TO CLOSE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AGAIN
Iran, however, issued a warning that it would not back down from its insistence that it manage the flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian security source told state media. Iran closed the strait, a vital artery for the flow of oil and gas, at the start of the war, upending the global economy
"The memorandum of understanding signed on this matter clearly states that Iran will reopen the strait in accordance with its own arrangements. Therefore, Iran will not permit the establishment of any new route outside the framework of its own arrangements," the source told Iran’s Press TV.
The source said Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz in response to any renewed attacks against the country. But Vance warned against Iran shutting down the strait again, threatening more strikes.
"I’m obviously not going to tell you exactly what’s going to happen tonight, but the president has said to them very simply, the Strait of Hormuz is going to be open. That means oil and gas is going to flow to the American people," he said. "If they try to close it down, there’s going to be response from the American military. It’s that simple."
