The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out in the early hours of Tuesday a third consecutive wave of strikes against Iran ordered by President Donald Trump, after the president warned the country would be hit “very hard” and said, “There is nothing they can do about it. They have nothing.” Hours later, the U.S. military command reported that the offensive targeted Iranian military capabilities linked to the Strait of Hormuz.

Shortly after the bombings, the United Arab Emirates reported that Iranian cruise missiles struck two Emirati tankers transiting the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz, in Omani territorial waters. The attack left one crew member dead and eight people injured.

After the nighttime strikes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Tuesday morning new missile and drone strikes against the Juffair naval base in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, and said it also struck an air base in Jordan used by U.S. forces.

Following the collapse of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran and the resumption of hostilities last week, Trump said the strait would remain open “with or without Iran” and announced that the United States would charge a 20% fee to vessels transiting the waterway to cover security costs. In response, Iran’s senior military leadership said Washington has no authority over the future of the strait, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi wrote on X: “Tehran will always be the guardian of the strait.”

El Mando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM) llevó a cabo en la madrugada del martes una tercera oleada consecutiva de ataques contra objetivos iraníes por orden del presidente Donald Trump. La acción se produjo tras las advertencias del mandatario sobre un golpe “muy fuerte”; el comando militar estadounidense indicó posteriormente que la operación se centró en capacidades militares iraníes relacionadas con el estrecho de Ormuz.

Horas después de los bombardeos, las autoridades de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos informaron que misiles de crucero atribuidos a Irán impactaron dos petroleros con bandera emiratí que transitaban por el carril sur del estrecho de Ormuz, en aguas territoriales de Omán. El ataque provocó la muerte de un tripulante y dejó a ocho personas heridas.

Tras las incursiones nocturnas, la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (IRGC) declaró en la mañana del martes haber llevado a cabo nuevos ataques con misiles y drones contra la base naval de Juffair, en Baréin, sede de la Quinta Flota de Estados Unidos, y afirmó también haber alcanzado una base aérea en Jordania utilizada por fuerzas estadounidenses.

Después del fracaso del memorando de entendimiento entre Washington y Teherán y la reanudación de las hostilidades la semana pasada, el presidente Trump aseguró que el estrecho permanecerá abierto “con o sin Irán” y anunció la imposición de una tasa del 20% a los buques que transiten por esa vía para cubrir costos de seguridad. En respuesta, el alto mando militar iraní afirmó que Estados Unidos no tiene autoridad sobre el futuro del estrecho, y el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Abbas Araqchi, publicó en X que “Teherán será siempre el guardián del estrecho”.

A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto:

Irán presentó un proyecto de ley para gestionar el estrecho de Ormuz y advierte que defenderá sus “líneas rojas”

El Parlamento iraní recibió un proyecto de ley destinado a regular la gestión del estrecho de Ormuz. Ebrahim Azizi, presidente de la Comisión de Seguridad Nacional del Legislativo, informó que la iniciativa busca establecer medidas estratégicas para la seguridad y el progreso sostenido del estrecho y del Golfo Pérsico.

En un mensaje publicado en X, Azizi explicó que la presentación formal del texto, titulado “Acción Estratégica para la Seguridad y el Progreso Sostenible del Estrecho de Ormuz y el Golfo Pérsico”, coincidió con el derribo de drones estadounidenses la noche anterior.

El legislador afirmó que Irán se mantiene firme en la defensa de sus “líneas rojas”, sobre todo en lo referente a la gestión del estrecho, y añadió que la iniciativa parlamentaria es “el primer paso” de una serie de medidas que se adoptarán en el futuro.

U.S. President Donald Trump said American forces control the Strait of Hormuz, defended the military offensive against Iran and confirmed he will maintain a maritime blockade on the Islamic Republic. He added that the campaign destroyed a large portion of Iran’s military capabilities and reiterated that his administration will prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

In a Monday night interview with Newsmax, Trump justified the U.S. attacks, saying, “We are attacking Iran right now, and they deserve it because they will not have a nuclear weapon, that we can assure with total certainty.” He emphasized that stopping Iran from acquiring such weapons is a primary objective of his administration.

When asked about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas shipments, the president said U.S. forces maintain control of the area. “We control it. They can cause problems. They can do things that are not right. But we control it,” he said.

Trump also attributed substantial damage to Iran’s defensive infrastructure to the military campaign. “We have destroyed most of their radar, much of their ammunition, many of their weapon launchers. We have destroyed drones. We have destroyed missiles,” he said, outlining the reach of the operations.

In that context, he confirmed his administration will reintroduce a maritime blockade against Iran. “The blockade was a tremendous success. It was in place for two months and no one could pass. We are putting that in place. We will let everyone through, except if you do business with Iran,” he stated during the interview.

Trump also said the offensive drastically reduced Iran’s military power. “Their army had 159 ships; all 159 ships are under the sea. They had 200 aircraft; their planes are gone. Their radars disappeared, their air defenses disappeared and their weapons manufacturing capacity disappeared by approximately 84%,” he claimed.

The president added that “they are a very different country than they were four months ago” and said, “in four months we largely took them back to the Stone Age.” He acknowledged, however, that Iran retains some military capabilities. “They still have some missiles and a small capability, but largely they were sent back to a different period,” he noted.

In another part of his remarks, Trump addressed Iran’s role in the Middle East and said the situation changed after the U.S. military action. “Iran was the bully of the Middle East and they were not going to intimidate me,” he concluded.

The president’s comments come amid growing confrontation between Washington and Tehran, marked by new U.S. measures and increased military tensions in the region. Trump reiterated that his administration will maintain pressure on the Islamic Republic until an agreement is achieved that serves U.S. interests, and defended the combined use of economic sanctions and military actions as part of that strategy.

He also insisted that a central aim of his government is to prevent Iran from retaining or developing capabilities that, according to Washington, pose a threat to the United States and its allies. In that context, he confirmed the reinstatement of the naval blockade against Iran and said the United States will assume the role of “guardian of the Strait of Hormuz,” one of the most important maritime routes for international oil and gas trade.

He also proposed that countries using that sea route should contribute to security costs. He said Washington would seek compensation equal to 20% of the value of cargo carried by ships transiting the strait, arguing that the United States should not bear alone the cost of protecting navigation in that strategic area.

The announcement followed Iran’s statement that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz “until further notice” after recent U.S. attacks, a decision that increased uncertainty about international energy trade and the global supply of oil and gas.

El Mando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM) efectuó en la madrugada del martes una tercera serie consecutiva de ataques contra objetivos en Irán por orden del presidente Donald Trump, después de que el mandatario advirtiera que el país sería golpeado “muy fuerte” y afirmara: “No hay nada que puedan hacer al respecto. No tienen nada”. Horas después, el comando militar estadounidense informó que la ofensiva se dirigió a capacidades militares iraníes vinculadas con el estrecho de Ormuz.

Poco después de los bombardeos, los Emiratos Árabes Unidos comunicaron que misiles de crucero procedentes de Irán impactaron a dos petroleros con pabellón emiratí que navegaban por el carril sur del estrecho de Ormuz, en aguas territoriales de Omán. El ataque dejó un tripulante muerto y ocho personas heridas.

Tras los ataques nocturnos, la Guardia Revolucionaria de Irán (IRGC) reivindicó en la mañana del martes nuevos bombardeos con misiles y drones contra la base naval de Jufair, en Baréin, sede de la Quinta Flota de Estados Unidos, y aseguró que también alcanzó una base aérea en Jordania utilizada por fuerzas estadounidenses.

Después del fracaso del memorando de entendimiento entre Estados Unidos e Irán y la reanudación de las hostilidades la semana pasada, Trump afirmó que el estrecho permanecerá abierto “con o sin Irán” y anunció que Estados Unidos aplicará una tasa del 20% a los buques que transiten por esa vía para cubrir los costos de seguridad. En respuesta, el alto mando militar iraní señaló que Washington no tiene autoridad sobre el futuro del estrecho; el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Abbas Araqchi, escribió en X: “Teherán será siempre el guardián del estrecho”.
