The US has launched a new round of strikes on Iran after President Donald Trump said the ceasefire was over and signalled he’d “hit them hard again” following an overnight exchange of attacks.

Explosions have been reported by Iranian state media in parts of the country’s south, including Sirik and Bandar Abbas – port cities on the Strait of Hormuz.

After the latest strikes, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: “This is in retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!”

Iranian State television aired a statement on Wednesday from the country’s joint military command, warning countries in the region that “providing support” to the U.S. will make them “a legitimate target”.

The Iranian authorities warned any attack from the US would be met with an “immediate response”.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the latest strikes were carried out to “further degrade Tehran’s ability to threaten freedom of navigation” in the vital waterway.

In a statement it added: “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”

The US is banning the sale of all products sold by Juul, one of the country’s top e-cigarette companies.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it did not have enough data to be sure that marketing the firm’s products was “appropriate for the protection of public health”.

Juul said it would challenge the move, which comes after other recent anti-smoking efforts by the FDA, including plans to reduce the amount of addictive nicotine allowed in cigarettes.
