US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Iran Launched ‘Eye-for-an-Eye’ Operation After Fresh US Strikes
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched the third phase of its “eye-for-an-eye” operation in response to the latest US military strikes on Iranian targets. According to the IRGC, the retaliatory campaign is ongoing and aims to respond to what Tehran describes as continued American military aggression.
The group also warned the United States against increasing its military presence in and around the Strait of Hormuz, signalling that more attacks could follow if the conflict continues.

US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: US Launched Fresh Strikes Against Iran
Before Iran announced its latest operation, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces had carried out another round of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
According to CENTCOM, the operation targeted dozens of military sites, including air-defence systems, coastal radar installations, missile launch infrastructure, drone facilities and small military boats operating near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US military said the objective was to weaken Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and ensure freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway.
CENTCOM also stated, “The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade. Iran does not control it.”
US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Strait of Hormuz Remains at the Centre of the Conflict
The Strait of Hormuz continues to be the biggest flashpoint in the ongoing confrontation between the United States and Iran.
The narrow waterway connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and carries around one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies. Any disruption to shipping through the route could affect global energy markets, fuel prices and international trade.
Both Washington and Tehran have repeatedly accused each other of threatening maritime security, making the Strait a central focus of the conflict.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: What Happened Before the Latest Escalation?
The latest exchange of strikes follows weeks of rising military tensions across the Middle East.
The United States recently intensified operations after accusing Iran of targeting commercial vessels in the Gulf. In response, Tehran expanded its military activities and warned that any further American attacks would be met with retaliation.
Although both countries have held several rounds of diplomatic talks in recent months, negotiations have failed to produce a lasting ceasefire, allowing the conflict to intensify further.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Strait of Hormuz Open or Close?
Despite the latest military escalation, the Strait of Hormuz remains open to international commercial shipping.
The United States has maintained that the waterway continues to operate as an international maritime corridor and has deployed military assets to help secure merchant vessels transiting the route.
However, security risks remain high. Iran has repeatedly warned that continued US military operations could affect stability in the Strait, raising concerns about possible disruptions if tensions continue to escalate.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: What’s Next?
The latest developments suggest that neither side is ready to reduce military pressure.
Iran says its “eye-for-an-eye” operation is continuing, while the United States has indicated it will keep targeting military infrastructure that it believes threatens international shipping and regional stability.
With diplomatic efforts stalled and both sides exchanging fresh strikes, the coming days could prove critical. Any further attacks near the Strait of Hormuz may increase the risk of a broader regional conflict and create fresh uncertainty for global energy markets and international trade.
