18-07-2026 09:52 AM


Ammon News - US forces launched strikes against Iran for a seventh night in a row on Friday, the US military said.

US Central Command (CENTCOM), in a post on X, said the strikes, which began at 1900 GMT, were designed to “continue degrading Iranian military capabilities.”

Five explosions were heard in the early hours of Saturday in Yazd, in central Iran, the state news agency IRNA reported.

Another Iranian news agency, Mehr, reported that explosions were heard “in several provinces in the south” of Iran.

IRGC attacks Thai-flagged vessel
Earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a Thai-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency said the ship ignored warnings and tried to pass through the strait without seeking permission from the IRGC.

Mohsen Rezaei, an advisor to Iran's supreme leader, was also quoted as saying that if the US seized any points in Iran, “we may enter an offensive war, instead of a defensive one.”

He added: “If US strikes continue for several more days, we will move into a phase of full-scale offensive operations.”
