The US military completed a new wave of strikes on Iran lasting about four hours, according to i24NEWS. President Trump said Israel was not involved in the attacks and threatened renewed bombing Tuesday if no deal is reached. In response, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while the IRGC claimed it struck important American targets in retaliation.
This is the second consecutive night of US strikes on Iran, with a roughly four-hour wave of attacks now completed, according to i24NEWS. President Trump confirmed Israel was not involved and warned that if Iran does not agree to a deal, the US will 'bomb the shit out of them tomorrow.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (06:21), Trump made the same threat following the first night of strikes, claiming Iran requested a halt to the attacks — a claim Tehran denied. The IRGC now states it has hit important American targets in retaliation for the US strikes, and Iran's government announced the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed. CENTCOM had earlier denied the Strait was closed, but the situation appears to have changed.
The second night follows a rapid escalation: the first wave of US strikes began overnight, with Iran threatening a decisive military response. Trump had set a Wednesday-night deadline for a nuclear deal, warning of 'very hard' strikes. The IRGC earlier said it struck a US Apache helicopter with a missile that failed to detonate. What remains unverified is the scope of the IRGC's claimed retaliation and whether any US assets were actually hit.
