US launches ‘self-defense strikes’ on Iran: Live war updates

The Pentagon said the U.S. military launched "self-defense strikes" on Iranian targets Thursday after "unprovoked" attacks from the Islamic republic on U.S. Navy vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
No U.S. assets were struck by Iranian attacks, but U.S. forces hit Iranian military facilities behind the attacks, U.S. Central Command, the arm of the U.S. military overseeing operations in the Middle East, said in a statement. The agency added it does not want to see an "escalation" of the fighting.
"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces," the statement said. "CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces."
Iranian state media reported the U.S. struck Iranian ports on Qeshm Island and the city of Bandar Abbas. The two sites are located near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says they launched attacks on U.S. Navy assets after American forces tried to seize an Iranian oil tanker. U.S. forces on Wednesday struck an Iranian oil tanker, disabling the vessel.
The White House and Pentagon did not respond to requests for information. The apparent resumption of hostilities comes as President Donald Trump says progress is being made in negotiations as Trump says ceasefire still in place, deal still possible
Michael Loria
President Trump told reporters Thursday evening that despite the attacks between the United States and Iran, the ceasefire remains in effect and a deal is still within reach for the two sides.
"Yeah, it is," Trump said regarding the ceasefire. "They trifled with us today. We blew them away. They trifled. I call that a trifle."
U.S. officials said no American assets were hit under Iranian fire. Iran disputes that claim.
Regarding a peace deal, Trump said it "might not happen, but it could happen any day. I believe they want the deal more than I do."
White House officials are awaiting Iran’s response to a peace deal framework from Trump. It’s unclear what the framework includes but the administration has said Iran disavowing its nuclear program and free access to the Strait of Hormuz are top priorities. Iran has said it wants reparations for damage suffered under U.S. and Israeli attacks.
‘We knocked them out’: Trump celebrates US strikes
Michael Loria
President Donald Trump celebrated the U.S. military’s apparent counterattack on Iran on Thursday, saying Iran’s boats "dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!"
"Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!" Trump said in a statement following Pentagon confirmation of the attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran says its forces attacked U.S. vessels after Navy forces tried to seize an Iranian oil tanker. White House and Pentagon officials have not responded to requests for comment on Iran’s assertion.
Trump said the incident proves Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon and threatened more strikes "if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!"
"They are led by LUNATICS," the president said of Iran. "If they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!"

Michael Loria
The Pentagon said they launched "self-defense strikes" on Iranian targets after "unprovoked" attacks from the Islamic republic.
"U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman," U.S. Central Command, the arm of the military overseeing operations in the Middle East, said in a statement.
No U.S. assets were hit, the U.S. Central Command statement said, adding that Iran launched missile, drones and small boat attacks on USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta and USS Mason.
"CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces," the statement said.
Tehran reviews a U.S. framework for peace talks.
