US expands military strikes on Iran after Trump says he’ll ‘hit them hard’

US forces have expanded their military strikes on Iran. This action follows the US blaming Tehran for breaking a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) intended to end a war. The article does not specify when these strikes began or the exact locations. President Trump stated that the US would "hit them hard," indicating a significant escalation in military action. The core reason for the expanded strikes is the alleged violation of the war-ending MoU by Iran.

The United States has conducted strikes targeting Iranian military boats. These strikes were launched in retaliation for attacks on three oil tankers that occurred in the Strait of Hormuz. The article states that the US action is a direct response to these prior attacks on commercial vessels in the strategically important waterway.
