Iranian state media reports that the United States has struck the city of Sirik in southern Iran, an area near the Strait of Hormuz, just 24 hours after previous reported strikes in the same region. According to multiple reports, including Axios, the latest attack marks a continuation of tit-for-tat exchanges between the US and Iran, despite a recently signed memorandum of understanding aimed at de-escalating tensions. The situation remains highly volatile, with both sides accused of escalating military activity around one of the world’s most critical shipping routes. More details are expected as the situation develops.
