US Strikes Iranian Missile Sites Near Strait of Hormuz as Ceasefire Teeters

The US Central Command has confirmed fresh strikes on southern Iran, targeting missile installations and boats accused of laying naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz. Officials say the operation was carried out in self-defence to shield American troops amid rising tensions over a fragile ceasefire. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says talks have progressed but that a final deal is not yet within reach. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio insists diplomatic efforts continue, though disagreements over draft framework language persist. The strikes centred on Bandar Abbas, a key port overseeing one of the world’s busiest oil transit routes.
