The United States has launched what its military called a series of powerful strikes against Iran. According to The Guardian, US Central Command announced the strikes on Tuesday night, framing them as a response to what it described as unwarranted and dangerous Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the strait of Hormuz. Central Command accused Tehran of a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, which was signed last month.
