US Iran conflict

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the latest measures were designed to increase pressure on Tehran.

Taking to X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said, “At 10 p.m. ET on July 29, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces.” 

Meanwhile, the US President said that the US military's next target in Iran could be Pickaxe Mountain.

"CENTCOM began conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the ninth consecutive night. The strikes will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz," the US CENTCOM said.

NYT's investigation reportedly revealed that Mossad arranged secret meetings in Budapest, funded his housing and travel, and moved him to a safe house in Tehran before he abandoned the plan and was reportedly placed under house arrest in Iran.

The latest escalation came only hours after US President Donald Trump declared that recent attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz had effectively ended the fragile agreement.

According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), American forces carried out strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, along with coastal radar installations.

The joint statement said the parties created a High-Level Committee, approved a 60-day roadmap, opened a direct communication line for the Strait of Hormuz and agreed on a Lebanon de-confliction cell facilitated by the mediators.

The Israeli military said that the strikes followed repeated ceasefire violations by the Iran-backed terrorist group.
