The US military carried out new strikes in Iran Wednesday, targeting a military site that threatened American troops and commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Reuters.
The outlet, citing a US official, also reported that drones launched from Iran were intercepted by American forces.
US Central Command and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
The latest strikes follow “self-defense strikes” launched by the US military on Monday against Iranian boats that were reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
They also come as US and Iranian negotiators work to finalize a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the key waterway to international shipping — without tolls — and allow additional time for an agreement on the fate of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles.
