Two of the targets struck by US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday night were newly built by the Iranians, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, while others were targets that had not been attacked before.
Included in the targets were Iranian surveillance infrastructure, communications systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities.
The US military confirmed the renewed strikes on Iran on Saturday, hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, in the worst escalation since the two sides signed an interim peace deal two weeks ago.
US President Donald Trump also commented on the strikes in a Saturday Truth Social post, noting that they followed Iran “violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!”
“It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” he wrote.

On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it launched “defensive” attacks on US-linked military targets, while Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy’s regional headquarters, reported an Iranian drone attack.
Since then, both Bahrain and Kuwait have announced that they have defended against Iranian ballistic missiles in the early hours of Sunday morning.
There are no reported US casualties, major impacts, or damage to US locations in the region at this time, a US official told Reuters. According to the source, the situation is still unfolding.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday morning also accused “the enemy” of using “tricks,” making it unworthy of trust.
“The enemy is using tricks, and we do not trust it. It may make moves at any stage, even during the negotiations,” the statement read. “Our response will be more severe than the last time every time the enemy violates the ceasefire.
