The US says the attacks were aimed at degrading Iran's capabilities to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US military says it has begun a new round of strikes against Iran to "further degrade" its capabilities to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes - the 10th consecutive night of attacks - come after US President Donald Trump vowed to punish Iran for the deaths of US soldiers, saying it would pay "many times over". He earlier said Iran had been hit "very hard" the previous night "in honour" of three US soldiers killed recently - two in Jordan and one in Iraq. Iran's military and communications sites were struck. Iran said it had targeted sites in Bahrain, Jordan and Syria, with President Masoud Pezeshkian saying Iran was now fighting a "full-scale war" with the US. At the same time, Tehran said diplomatic messages were still being exchanged by both sides through intermediaries, despite a collapse of a ceasefire. Elsewhere in the region, Jordan's military said late on Monday it had shot down three Iranian missiles as sirens sounded across the country warning of incoming fire. Earlier in the day, Kuwait's armed forces said they had intercepted Iranian drones. Bahrain said drones launched by Iran had targeted its air navigation systems - but traffic remained unaffected.
