US-Iran Ceasefire Crumbles

Iran says the US launched new strikes after hitting dozens of targets overnight, as Iranian missiles breach Jordan’s airspace.

• New explosions reported: US forces struck several locations in an Iranian coastal province today, according to Iran’s state news agency. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it fired 10 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan, which were intercepted. The US military has not confirmed any new attacks.

• Trading strikes: It follows a second day of attacks between the US and Iran that has further eroded their fragile ceasefire. The US military said it hit 90 targets along Iran’s coastline overnight. In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.

• Strait of Hormuz: Renewed strikes and US President Donald Trump’s threat to reimpose a naval blockade have slowed traffic and prompted Iran to get its oil tankers out of the strait.

• Funeral’s final day: The marathon ceremonies for slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei are culminating today, with all eyes on whether his son and successor Mojtaba will make an appearance.
