The US unleashed a fresh wave of strikes on Iran, its second in two days, in response to the regime’s attacks across the region, officials said.

The strikes began at 12 p.m. EST, with US Central Command noting that the attacks are focused against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which oversees the Strait of Hormuz.
