The United States has resumed military strikes against Iran, targeting assets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in and around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. Tuesday's military action coincided with an escalation in the Trump administration's economic pressure campaign. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration intends to "economically asphyxiate this regime" and impose additional sanctions to force Tehran back to the negotiating table.
President Donald Trump signaled Monday that additional military action against Iran could be needed, a day after the U.S. military said it struck rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The latest escalation came as Iran launched missiles toward U.S. facilities in Jordan, which were intercepted, while authorities in the United Arab Emirates said they had downed an Iranian drone over Emirati waters. The exchanges marked a sharp increase in hostilities across the region as tensions between Washington and Tehran continued to mount.
