The U.S. military launched an eleventh consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran Wednesday, with explosions reported in multiple locations across the country. The strikes have continued as Washington and Tehran maintain a standoff over control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military said it conducted these latest strikes early Wednesday, targeting areas within Iran. Al Jazeera reports that explosions were heard in northwestern Iran’s Tabriz, the capital city of Tehran, and across southern Iran. France24 reported President Donald Trump stated the U.S. was “not finished” attacking the Middle Eastern nation.
The ongoing series of strikes began eleven nights ago, with CBS News reporting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified about a Pentagon request related to these actions. Newsmax frames the situation as a battle between Washington and Tehran for control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport. NDTV simply confirms the U.S. military’s statement that this marks the eleventh night of strikes.
No right-leaning sources reported on this story beyond Newsmax. Left outlets emphasize the escalation of conflict and faltering diplomatic efforts, while Newsmax focuses on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz; not in dispute is the fact that the U.S. has conducted eleven nights of strikes within Iran. The current status of negotiations between the two countries remains unclear, as does the long-term objective of these ongoing military actions.
