Forecast Trend Report by Period
The US has launched additional airstrikes on Iran.
US Central Command said in a post on X on June 10 that, beginning at 5:15 p.m. Eastern time, it had started additional self-defense airstrikes on multiple targets inside Iran under the president's orders.
CENTCOM described the operation as a response to Iran's “unwarranted and continued aggression.”
The latest strikes came a day after the US attacked Iran, marking a second consecutive day of military action. Washington had earlier struck military facilities inside Iran in response to an incident in which a US Army Apache helicopter was shot down over the Strait of Hormuz near Oman.
President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on June 10 that the US would “hit hard again today” and accused Iran of delaying peace negotiations.
The additional airstrikes have once again heightened military tensions between the US and Iran, clouding prospects for a Middle East ceasefire and the resumption of nuclear talks.
