Summary
CENTCOM said it carried out a fifth straight day of strikes after Iran fired on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which the White House said breached a memorandum of understanding.
Karoline Leavitt said Iran had agreed not to target commercial shipping and warned President Trump would impose consequences rather than allow attacks in the waterway.
Earlier this week, U.S. forces also fired on an unladen ship that ignored warnings and tried to reach an Iranian port despite the blockade, underscoring tighter enforcement at sea.
Leavitt said Iran is still talking with Washington about a possible deal even as U.S. military pressure intensifies and the administration says the regime is taking devastating blows.
