Ankara / Anatolia

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Friday that it had launched a new wave of attacks against Iran.

According to a statement published by the US Central Command on its account on the US platform "X", the airstrikes against Iran began at 19:00 GMT, for the seventh consecutive night.

The statement added that these attacks "aim to further weaken Iran's military capabilities".

For days, the United States has been launching successive waves of strikes on sites inside Iran, while Tehran is attacking what it says are American ships, facilities, and military bases in a number of countries in the region.

On Thursday, the US Central Command "CENTCOM" announced the execution of a new wave of strikes on Iranian military targets, using aircraft and precision munitions.

On June 18, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding that included a cessation of military operations and the start of negotiations to reach a broader agreement.

However, US President Donald Trump announced, on July 8, the end of the interim agreement, following the targeting of 3 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Washington to resume its strikes inside Iran, amid escalating Iranian responses in the region.

Washington demands guaranteeing freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran insists on imposing a mechanism to regulate the passage of ships through the strategic corridor, exacerbating fears of disruption of oil and gas exports from the region.
