“The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region,” the post adds.
The new round of strikes come after the US and Iran traded attacks overnight into Monday — marking the first exchange of fire between the two countries in over a month.
