The U.S. military launched an additional round of strikes on targets within Iran early Thursday morning local time, U.S. Central Command said, hours after President Trump vowed to hit Iran "hard" in a bid to force the country to agree to a deal on the administration's terms.
CENTCOM said on X that it hit "multiple targets in Iran ... in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression." It described the strikes as self-defensive.
This is a breaking story; it will be updated.
