New airstrikes on Iran
The US military is carrying out fresh airstrikes against Iran, the US Central Command said on Wednesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump declared that an interim agreement to end the war with Iran was 'over'. The military said the strikes were aimed at degrading Iran's ability to 'threaten freedom of navigation' in the Strait of Hormuz.
Sanctions and warnings
Earlier, the United States reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil, warning Tehran it would face consequences over attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. These measures are part of escalating US pressure on Iran.

The body of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei arrived in Iraq ahead of funeral processions through the holy Shia cities of Najaf and Karbala, where millions of mourners are expected to pay their respects at some of Islam's most revered shrines.
International reactions
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he and President Trump remain aligned on the key issues surrounding Iran, insisting the two leaders 'see eye to eye' on how to deal with Tehran.
