Iran’s military says United States forces targeted an Iranian oil tanker in coastal waters and another vessel near the Fujairah port area, while US air strikes reportedly hit civilian locations in Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island in southern Iran. Iranian air defence systems were also activated over western Tehran.
The US military said its naval forces came under attack from Iranian missiles, drones and fast boats in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington stated that US forces responded by intercepting incoming threats and striking Iranian military facilities allegedly linked to the attacks.
US President Donald Trump described the strikes on Iranian targets as a “love tap” and claimed that a ceasefire effort was “in effect”.
Meanwhile, Israel continued attacks in southern Lebanon, with reports indicating at least 11 people, including children, were killed in the towns of Doueir, Harouf and Habboush in the Nabatieh district.
