(CNN)-- The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Monday it has launched strikes against Iran for the third consecutive night.

CENTCOM said on platform X (formerly Twitter): 'These strikes will continue to inflict heavy losses on Iranian forces and undermine their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.'

In contrast, the Iranian news agency (IRNA) reported hearing three explosions in the coastal city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.

The Iranian Broadcasting Corporation reported that the Iranian army targeted US military facilities in Kuwait with drones and launched cruise missiles at a US warship on Monday.

According to a statement by the Iranian army, the drone strikes targeted communication systems, fuel tanks, a Patriot air defense system, a control tower, and an ammunition depot at what Iran described as a US military base in Kuwait, and the army said the attacks were carried out in response to 'repeated US aggression against Iran.'

The statement also claimed that the Iranian navy launched cruise missiles at a 'hostile ship' belonging to the United States in response to missile attacks on Iranian military sites.

The strikes were launched after US President Donald Trump announced that the United States intends to carry out additional military strikes on Iran, signaling further moves after the resumption of negotiations between the two countries last week.

During an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump hinted that the United States is closely monitoring Iranian targets but refrained from discussing operational details, saying: 'We will hit them hard tonight, and we will hit them hard tomorrow.'

Hewitt asked whether the US or Israeli military knows the location of the remaining Iranian military leadership and whether they can target it, to which Trump replied: 'Yes, I know, but we don't want to talk about it. But we are definitely monitoring the situation.'

The US president described the much-touted memorandum of understanding with Iran as a 'test' he would have preferred to avoid, saying: 'It's a common tactic in the United States, where you reach a memorandum of understanding and then an agreement. I said: Let's start with the agreement first, but you know, it was like a test, and they didn't adhere to it. They didn't respect the test.'

The ceasefire agreement, signed last month, began a 60-day period to negotiate some of the more complex nuclear issues, but the agreement appears to be completely collapsing as strikes resume from both sides in the region.

Trump had previously described the memorandum of understanding as 'an agreement with Iran that achieves everything we sought... ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,' but he said Monday that it 'doesn't mean much when you deal with corrupt people, and it also doesn't mean much when you deal with honorable people, because it's just a memorandum of understanding - it doesn't mean much.'
