For the second consecutive day, the United States military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out "additional self-defence strikes" against multiple targets in Iran shortly after US President Donald Trump and his war secretary warned of hitting the Islamic Republic "hard". According to local media reports, air defence systems were activated in the southern regions of the country, with explosions being heard in western Tehran, Fars province, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Kish, Minab, and some areas in central Isfahan, straining the already fragile ceasefire between the two nations.||
