Add The New York Post on Google The US unleashed a fresh wave of strikes on Iran, its second in two days, in response to the regime’s attacks across the region, officials said.

The strikes began at 12 p.m. EST, with US Central Command noting that the attacks are focused against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which oversees the Strait of Hormuz.

“The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

Tehran responded with its own drone strikes against Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, allegedly targeting US forces stationed in the countries.

The Islamic Republic followed up with attacks on two supertankers carrying 4 million barrels of Saudi oil on Tuesday, with the ships reporting strikes from multiple projectiles near Oman’s coast.

There have been at least nine attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz this month, with more than 72 recorded since March, according to the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization.

President Trump warned that the US would hit Iran “hard” over the deadly strikes.

The UAE and Qatar have warned that a return to the tit-for-tat attacks along the Strait would threaten stability in the region as they urged both sides to return to the negotiating table.
