US forces struck Iranian military targets for the second time in two days, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites after Washington accused Tehran of preparing attacks on commercial vessels and American troops near the Strait of Hormuz. Details about the targets and possible casualties were not immediately available. The latest strike follows Sunday’s US attack on Iranian rocket launchers, which Iran retaliated against by firing ballistic missiles at US bases in Jordan. The renewed fighting has deepened fears of a wider regional conflict. The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the crisis, as about 20% of the world’s oil normally passes through the vital waterway.
