The U.S. military said on Wednesday (June 10, 2026) night that it has begun fresh round of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump said more were coming. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Mr. Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
U.S. Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it’s being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression”.
The strikes come a day after the U.S. struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that Mr. Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Mr. Trump urged Iran to sign a deal to end the war.
Earlier on Wednesday (June 10), the U.S. military said it had fired on an oil tanker attempting to transport oil from Iran in violation of its blockade on Iranian ports.
Iran’s United Nations envoy said the U.S. should refrain from threats of force if it wants a deal.
“Iran has never negotiated under threats and pressure and will never submit to pressure or question,” Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.
