For the tenth consecutive night, US forces have continued airstrikes on military targets in Iran, striking missile installations, drone bases and other strategic infrastructure. The operations have been focused on areas near the Strait of Hormuz, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.

US President Donald Trump has described the military campaign as a response to Tehran's actions. In his latest statements, he warned that any attack on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz would be met with a much stronger response, while vowing to avenge the killing of three American soldiers over the weekend.

According to the White House, military operations will continue until President Trump decides otherwise, although the US administration emphasizes that diplomatic channels with Tehran still remain open.

Meanwhile, explosions were reported at several strategic points in Iran last night. The attacks included the island of Qeshm, the ports of Bandar Abbas and Bandar Lengeh, and the Sirik area along the Strait of Hormuz.

Explosions were also reported in the cities of Konarak and Chabahar, in Sistan province, as well as in Shiraz. In Bushehr, where Iran's nuclear power plant is located, air defense systems were activated after warnings of attacks.

On the other hand, Iranian authorities announced that they have launched counterattacks against American targets in the region. According to the Iranian Ground Forces, American HIMARS missile systems were hit at the Arifjan camp in Kuwait, as part of retaliatory operations against American military bases.

At the same time, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations sent a letter to the Security Council, condemning the recent attack on an Iranian nuclear facility and calling it a violation of international law.

Despite continued diplomatic contacts, the situation in the region remains highly tense, while concerns about the escalation of the conflict and its impact on regional security and global energy markets continue to grow.
