United States renews strikes on Iran, Trump threatens further action

The United States has conducted a new wave of airstrikes against military targets in Iran, following an incident involving a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. The Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed these retaliatory strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump, targeted nearly 20 Iranian military facilities, including air defense systems and ground control stations. Trump described the operation as a "very strong response" and reportedly threatened further action, stating he would "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement is not reached, characterizing an earlier April ceasefire as "the most violated in history." Reports indicate both sides have continued to exchange strikes across the Middle East for a second day, with Iran reportedly attacking US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, and declaring the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
