U.S. Central Command said it had hit about 140 targets in Iran overnight after Tehran attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s military said it had responded by firing at U.S. targets in Jordan, Oman and Qatar. Iran attacked U.S.-allied Persian Gulf Arab states on Sunday after American forces conducted some of their most intense strikes against Iran in weeks, with no signs of diplomatic progress to try to salvage a cease-fire that has been steadily unraveling. The U.S. military’s Central Command said that the Iranian navy attacked a Cypriot-flagged container ship in the Strait of Hormuz overnight between Saturday and Sunday, and that it had hit about 140 Iranian military targets in response, capping nearly a week of back-and-forth attacks. President Trump suggested the two sides had been close to a deal over the weekend but shortly after that, Iran launched a drone attack on a ship. In a Sunday morning interview with NBC’s “Meet The Press,” he said that in response: “We bombed the hell out of them last night.” Mr. Trump also rejected Iranian claims that Tehran had closed the Strait of Hormuz, insisting on Sunday that it was open to shipping. He also said that the two countries had agreed to an unspecified deal on Saturday, only for Iran to attack a commercial ship shortly after. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mr. Trump’s remarks about an agreement. Iran has not said that it had agreed to any new deal, and Mr. Trump has often made unsubstantiated claims about the war. Iran said that it had struck what it called a “violating” vessel in the strait on Saturday. In response to the subsequent overnight U.S. strikes, Iran said that it had targeted American military assets in Jordan, Oman and Qatar. Kuwait also reported incoming fire, and on Sunday morning the United Arab Emirates’ defense ministry said that it was also intercepting missile and drone attacks from Iran.
