Summary

The US military says it has carried out new 'self-defense' strikes in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and boats. The attacks come despite ongoing peace talks between the US and Iran in Qatar.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the strikes were necessary to address threats posed to American troops. President Trump has been touting negotiations, but the military action suggests tensions remain high.
