U.S. military forces have carried out strikes in Iran as President Donald Trumps peace deal implodes.
The strikes, which officials labeled as self-defensive, took place on Monday in southern Iran, attacking missile launch sites and boats that U.S. Central Command said were attempting to emplace mines.
U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces, CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins said in a statement to the Daily Beast. The New York Times and Fox News initially reported on the strikes.
