US Launches New Strikes on Iran Despite Ongoing Ceasefire Talks. The U.S. military says it carried out new strikes on southern Iran, targeting missile sites and boats allegedly trying to place naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command described the operation as “self-defense,” saying the strikes were meant to protect American forces while maintaining restraint during the fragile ceasefire. The attacks reportedly hit areas near Bandar Abbas, home to a major Iranian naval base. Iranian media confirmed explosions were heard, though Tehran has not officially responded. The strikes come as negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue, with both sides saying progress has been made — but no final deal is close yet. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said talks are still ongoing and could take several more days as negotiators work through key details. The proposed framework reportedly includes extending the ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and future talks over Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief.
