U.S. Launches Third Night of Strikes on Iran as Trump Says Deal Still 'Possible'

The United States conducted a third consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, targeting positions in the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE reported Iranian missile attacks on two ships in the strait, while Iran claimed it struck Bahrain. President Donald Trump asserted that a deal with Iran remained 'possible' despite the escalating conflict.

The U.S. launched a fresh salvo of strikes against Iran early Tuesday, marking a new escalation in hostilities. U.S. Central Command stated the strikes aimed to impose a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE reported that Iran fired missiles at two vessels in the strait, while Iran claimed it conducted strikes on Bahrain. The timing of the strikes varied slightly between sources, with some reporting them as occurring early Tuesday and others as happening on the night of July 14.
