July 8, 2026
U.S. military forces have begun strikes against strategic targets in Iran, primarily in the ports of Bandar Abbas and Sirik, aiming to reduce the country's ability to threaten navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks were carried out following an order from former President Trump. Numerous explosions have been reported in southern Iran, with Iranian air defense on high alert. This incident follows previous bombings and increases tensions in the region. The U.S. asserts that it is holding Iran accountable for recent provocations.
