The US military conducted new strikes on Iran's military infrastructure, targeting air defense systems, coastal surveillance, and missile sites, following the reinstatement of oil sanctions after three tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.The strikes, announced by US Central Command, aimed to impose 'heavy costs' on Iran for alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement.Iranian media reported explosions in southern ports like Sirik and Bandar Abbas, with no civilian deaths reported but injuries from shrapnel.The move to revoke Iran's oil export license intensified tensions, causing oil prices to rise by over 3%.Analysts note the attacks underscore Iran's leverage over the strait, which it uses to negotiate a peace deal with the US.Meanwhile, Qatar and Saudi Arabia accused Iran of attacking commercial vessels, while Iran denied the allegations.The conflict, which began in February, remains unresolved despite ongoing talks in Qatar.

US President Trump threatened to resume strikes if a permanent agreement isn't reached, highlighting the fragile ceasefire and geopolitical stakes.
