Iran and US trade more attacks as Houthis threaten blockade

Iran targeted US radar and air defence installations in the Gulf on Tuesday, warning Washington of “more decisive and powerful” attacks to come as the conflict threatened to widen with a blockade of Saudi ports by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had attacked and stopped two “non-compliant oil tankers” attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, part of an effort to tighten its grip on the vital waterway while the war reignited.

Following the deaths of at least three US soldiers in the past several days, the United States launched a new round of attacks against Iran late Monday, which it said were “designed to further degrade Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial shipping” in the strait.

The latest round of US strikes lasted about five hours, according to the US military, marking 10 consecutive nights of American strikes on Iran.
