US launches new wave of attacks against Iran for the second night in a row In a statement this Thursday morning, the Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, saying that the US offensives had rendered the nearly two-month ceasefire “practically meaningless”. "The illegal and criminal attacks carried out by the United States in the last few hours not only constitute a flagrant violation... but also render the ceasefire practically meaningless," the ministry stated. The note also says that “responsibility for the extremely serious consequences of this criminal act lies with the leaders of the United States.” In retaliation for American bombings, Iran attacked two ships. The Indian embassy in Oman said it was aware of an incident involving a vessel near the port of Shinas, in the country, which occurred this Thursday. Iranian news agency Tasnim says three sailors died. However, India's Ministry of External Affairs claims that there were 20 Indians on board the vessel and that they are all safe. On the Fox News TV network, US President Donald Trump said that American fighter jets were operating in the skies over Iran. He said he had spoken to Iranian authorities this Wednesday, who allegedly "had asked for the bombings to stop". He said Israel was not involved in the mission and did not rule out further military action in the country. Tehran has denied that such talks took place. According to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the country's forces carried out retaliatory attacks on the US Fifth Fleet, whose base is in Bahrain. "IRGC forces struck and destroyed eighteen important targets belonging to the American army at Ali Salem and Ahmad Al-Jaber air bases, as well as Sheikh Isa air base, during two operational waves," a statement said. Explosions were heard in Manama, the Bahraini capital, and in Hamad Town. Bahrain's Interior Ministry said the attacks left an 11-year-old child injured. Vehicles caught fire and houses were damaged due to falling debris from intercepted drones. Civil Defense and the National Ambulance Service took the necessary measures, according to the ministry.

According to Washington, the first wave of attacks occurred in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter by Iran. It is not yet known what impact this Wednesday's attacks will have on the truce in the conflict, which has been fragile since its beginning in April. Iranian state agencies reported several explosions in Bandar Abbas, Minab, Kargan and Sirik, port cities in the Strait of Hormuz region, and that air defenses were activated in Isfahan. The Mehr agency spoke of "fights at sea" between Iranian and American forces, but did not provide further details. A US official told Axios that all of the targets hit were in southern Iran and included air defense systems, radars and drone command and control units. Almost two hours after the US attack, the Iranian government again said that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all types of ships, and that it fired on two vessels that it said were violating its blockade. Earlier, Iran had also promised a "tough response" against US targets in the Middle East, and said that a further escalation of the conflict would not be restricted to the Middle East alone. On Tuesday, Tehran attacked the US base in Bahrain in retaliation. The US attack came hours after President Donald Trump said his military would strike Iran again "later today." US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the bombings would be "clearly strong" and would hit "key facilities" in Iran. Hegseth, however, did not give details about what those facilities were. According to Hegseth, Wednesday's attacks would advance US military interests in the Middle East and help Washington reach a diplomatic solution to the war. Iran said earlier, however, that the country does not negotiate under threats.
