The United States military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said attacks have been launched “against multiple targets in Iran”, calling the strikes “self-defense” and in response to “Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”. 
Iranian media reports the sound of explosions in several locations, including the port city of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and the southern towns of Sirik and Minab. 
Air defences were also activated in western Tehran, according to reports. 
Iran says it will not hesitate to defend itself after its latest clashes. 
Iran’s Mehr news agency reports that its military has ordered the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial vessels. 
US President Donald Trump warned earlier that his military was preparing to strike Iran again, claiming: “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them; now they will have to pay the price.” 
Israeli attacks on Lebanon continued on Wednesday with multiple reports of casualties in strikes on the south of the country and in the Beqaa Valley region, as the death toll since March from Israel’s bombardments reached 3,696.
