The US military launched a new wave of airstrikes on Iranian targets overnight, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked a Cypriot-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio). One crew member is missing and the vessel sustained significant damage. The US Army said Iran had "again failed" to honor the memorandum of understanding.
This latest wave follows a series of escalating exchanges documented by The Zioneer. At 05:51 Jerusalem, the desk reported that US Central Command had launched a third round of strikes this week, after the IRGC attacked the container ship GFS Galaxy. Earlier, at 02:54 Jerusalem, the desk reported that the Cypriot-flagged container ship had been disabled by the IRGC attack, with one crew member missing and the vessel disabled by fire and engine damage. At 02:59 Jerusalem, a senior US official confirmed that US forces were striking IRGC targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The earlier attacks and the current one appear to be separate incidents, prompting a further US response.
The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint for weeks, with Iran targeting vessels it claims are illegally crossing. The US has conducted multiple rounds of retaliatory strikes since early July, with President Trump warning of severe consequences. The situation remains fluid as further strikes may be pending.
