The U.S. resumed striking Iranian military targets at 5:30 PM today according to the U.S. Central Command.
The U.S. has been hammering Iran for 12 days straight after it violated a memorandum of understanding that sought peace. Iran repeatedly fired upon ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
At 5:30 p.m. ET today, U.S. forces began launching more strikes against Iranian military targets at the Commander in Chief's direction. The mission will continue to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters.

Earlier on Wednesday, President Trump said that anytime Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will destroy either a bridge or a power plant.
"From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran," Trump said.
🚫CLAIM: Today, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claimed that it controls exit and entry to the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that international mariners can only use routes the IRGC prefers. This is FALSE.
