The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported early Wednesday the end of its fourth wave of strikes against Iran and announced the resumption of the naval blockade of Iranian ports and coasts, a measure that had been suspended during the negotiations that led to the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. U.S. President Donald Trump declared that agreement terminated.

In response, Iran launched new attacks against U.S. military bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. The Jordanian Army reported that its air defense systems intercepted and shot down three Iranian ballistic missiles, while Bahrain and Kuwait announced response operations.

Before the latest escalation, Trump warned that he would order strikes against Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not agree to negotiate a ceasefire. “We will put all of their power plants out of operation. We will put all of their bridges out of operation, unless they sit at the table and negotiate,” he said.

For its part, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) asserted that the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s traded oil and gas passes, will remain closed until U.S. military actions cease.

Below is minute-by-minute coverage:

Iran executed a man arrested during the January protests

The Iranian regime executed on Wednesday a man accused of setting fire to government and police facilities during protests against the Islamic Republic’s authorities in January in Isfahan province, according to Mizan News, a media outlet linked to the Iranian judiciary.

The report states that Mohammad Amini Dehaghani was hanged after the Supreme Court upheld the sentence. Judicial authorities claim that on January 9 he threw Molotov cocktails at the governor’s office in Dehaghan and at the central police station, and incited others to attack officers.

The official information cites surveillance footage and the defendant’s confessions. It also asserts that Amini Dehaghani attempted to use a rifle taken from police during the protests.

Oil rises again amid military escalation in the Middle East

U.S. benchmark crude (WTI) rose $0.86 to trade at $80.20 per barrel, while Brent, the international benchmark, gained $1.15 to $85.88 per barrel.

On Tuesday, oil closed up 2% and hit a one-month high, driven by attacks that exacerbated supply concerns in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Brent and WTI have made upward corrections in line with the escalation of attacks, but the magnitude of the move will likely moderate now as the market waits to see any change in posture from the U.S. and Iran,” said June Goh, senior oil market analyst at Sparta Commodities, in an interview with Reuters.

Vessels linked to Iran left the Strait of Hormuz before the U.S. blockade

There was an increase on Tuesday in the number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, most linked to Iranian trade, ahead of the U.S. blockade set to take effect on Wednesday, according to shipping data. Records from Kpler indicate that nine of the eleven vessels that crossed the route that day used the Iranian passage.

Among the vessels entering the strait were three empty tankers: one Aframax-type ship and two large tankers. For departures, the data shows that a VLCC transported 2 million barrels of crude oil, while a medium tanker carried refined products and two other vessels moved liquefied petroleum gas.

The commercial flow also included a tanker loaded with methanol and a bulk carrier with iron ore, both departing the Gulf on Tuesday.

The military body defended the operation called “Lightning” and declared that “the era of face slaps is over and any action against the land, waters and air of this historic country will not go unanswered or without a proportional cost.”

In addition, the Revolutionary Guard reported attacks by its Navy and Aerospace Force against a U.S. depot at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain and against U.S. drones at the Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait. According to the statement, “in a simultaneous missile and drone operation, fighters from the Navy and Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps destroyed several depots of weapons and spare parts for enemy ships and aircraft at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain a few hours ago.”

The military report also highlighted that “they also attacked the ramp where hostile MQ-9 drones were deployed at the Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait, destroying or damaging several of them.”

Iran: the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until “the ills of the United States end”

The Revolutionary Guard of Iran announced that the strategic waterway will remain closed until U.S. actions cease, according to a statement released Tuesday. The military organization claimed that the U.S. military attacked Iranian bases “under the pretext of striking offending ships” attempting to transit the strait, “to hide its defeat and incapacity.”

In the text, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard emphasized that “no ship dared to violate [the Iranian blockade] or to accompany the United States,” and added that, as a consequence, “there were naturally no impacts” during the operation.

White House: “Divisions in Iran demonstrate the success of Trump’s policy”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said that internal divisions among leaders of the Iranian regime reflect the success of President Donald Trump’s policy toward Tehran. Miller made these remarks during an interview with Fox News.

According to the U.S. official, Iran’s leadership currently faces “huge fissures the size of cannons” after decades of unity. Miller insisted that the United States urges Iran to support a peace program and abandon its nuclear ambitions.

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian said his country will defend “every inch” of its territory amid rising tensions with the United States, after U.S. President Donald Trump declared that he had eliminated much of Iran’s military capabilities. “We will defend every inch of our homeland with our actions,” Pezeshkian said in an interview with state television.

The president’s remarks came in a context of growing hostilities, after the United States launched airstrikes in southern Iran following Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran fired missiles and launched drones at U.S. targets in the region.

“His rhetoric continues, but the question is: have they achieved their objectives on the battlefield?” Pezeshkian challenged, referring to Trump’s statements and U.S. military actions.

El Comando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM) informó a primeras horas del miércoles que concluyó una cuarta ronda de bombardeos contra objetivos en Irán y que reanudará el bloqueo naval sobre puertos y costas iraníes, una medida que había estado suspendida durante las negociaciones vinculadas al Memorando de Entendimiento de Islamabad, acuerdo que el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump dio por terminado.

En respuesta a las acciones de Estados Unidos, Irán atacó nuevas instalaciones militares con misiles y drones en Jordania, Bahréin y Kuwait. El Ejército jordano informó que su defensa aérea interceptó tres misiles balísticos; las autoridades de Bahréin y Kuwait comunicaron que llevaron a cabo operaciones de respuesta.

Antes de la reciente escalada, la administración estadounidense advirtió que podría atacar infraestructura estratégica iraní si Teherán no aceptaba negociar un alto el fuego, amenazando con golpear centrales eléctricas y puentes para forzar la negociación.

Por su parte, el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (CGRI) declaró que el estrecho de Ormuz permanecerá cerrado hasta que cesen las acciones militares de Estados Unidos; por esa vía transita una fracción significativa del comercio mundial de petróleo y gas.

El presidente de Irán, Masud Pezeshkian, afirmó que su país defenderá “cada centímetro” de su territorio ante la escalada con Estados Unidos, tras las declaraciones del mandatario estadounidense sobre la supuesta reducción de capacidades militares iraníes. “Defenderemos cada centímetro de nuestra patria con nuestras acciones”, declaró Pezeshkian en una entrevista con la televisión estatal.

Sus comentarios se produjeron en un contexto de creciente hostilidad, luego de que Estados Unidos lanzara bombardeos en el sur de Irán tras ataques de Teherán contra buques comerciales en el estrecho de Ormuz. En respuesta, Irán efectuó lanzamientos de misiles y drones contra objetivos estadounidenses en la región.

“Su retórica continúa, pero la pregunta es: ¿han alcanzado sus objetivos en el campo de batalla?”, planteó Pezeshkian en relación con las afirmaciones y acciones estadounidenses.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported early Wednesday the end of its fourth wave of strikes against Iran and announced the resumption of a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coasts, a measure that had been suspended during negotiations that led to the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. U.S. President Donald Trump declared that agreement terminated.

In response, Iran launched new attacks on U.S. military bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. The Jordanian military reported that its air defense systems intercepted and shot down three Iranian ballistic missiles, while Bahrain and Kuwait announced response operations.

Before the latest escalation, Trump warned he would order attacks on Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not agree to negotiate a ceasefire. “We will take out all their power plants. We will take out all their bridges unless they sit down at the table and negotiate,” he said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s traded oil and gas passes, will remain closed until U.S. military actions cease.

Below is minute-by-minute coverage:

Iran executed a man arrested during January protests

The Iranian regime executed a man on Wednesday accused of setting fire to government and police facilities during protests against the Islamic Republic’s authorities in January in Isfahan province, Mizan News, a media outlet linked to the judiciary, reported.

The report states that Mohammad Amini Dehaghani was hanged after the Supreme Court upheld the sentence. Judicial authorities allege that on January 9 he threw Molotov cocktails at the governor’s office in Dehaghan and at the main police station, and incited others to attack officers.

The official account cites surveillance footage and the accused’s confessions. It also claims Amini Dehaghani attempted to use a rifle taken from police during the protests.

Oil rises again amid Middle East military escalation

U.S. benchmark crude (WTI) rose 86 cents to trade at $80.20 per barrel, while Brent, the international benchmark, gained $1.15 to $85.88 per barrel.

On Tuesday, oil closed up 2% and reached a one-month high, driven by attacks that worsened supply concerns in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Brent and WTI have moved up in line with the escalation of attacks, but the size of the move will likely moderate now as the market waits to see any change in stance from the U.S. and Iran,” said June Goh, senior oil market analyst at Sparta Commodities, in an interview with Reuters.

The president’s remarks came in a context of increasing hostilities, after the United States carried out strikes in southern Iran following Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S. targets in the region.

“His rhetoric continues, but the question is: have they achieved their objectives on the battlefield?” Pezeshkian challenged, referring to Trump’s statements and U.S. military actions.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported early Wednesday the end of its fourth wave of strikes against Iran and announced the resumption of a naval blockade on Iranian ports and coastlines, a measure that had been suspended during negotiations that produced the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. U.S. President Donald Trump declared that agreement terminated.

In response, Iran launched new attacks against U.S. military bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. The Jordanian military reported that its air-defense systems intercepted and shot down three Iranian ballistic missiles, while Bahrain and Kuwait announced responsive operations.

Before the latest escalation, Trump warned he would order strikes on Iran’s strategic infrastructure if Tehran did not agree to negotiate a ceasefire. “We will put all of their power plants out of commission. We will put all of their bridges out of commission unless they sit down at the table and negotiate,” he said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s traded oil and gas passes, will remain closed until U.S. military actions cease.

Below is live minute-by-minute coverage:

Iran executed a man arrested during the January protests

The Iranian regime executed on Wednesday a man accused of setting fire to government and police facilities during the January protests in Isfahan province, according to Mizan News, a media outlet linked to the judiciary.

The report states that Mohammad Amini Dehaghani was hanged after the Supreme Court upheld the sentence. Judicial authorities say that on January 9 he threw Molotov cocktails at the governor’s office in Dehaghan and at the central police station, and incited others to attack officers.

Official information cites surveillance recordings and the accused’s confessions. It also claims Amini Dehaghani tried to use a rifle taken from police during the protests.

Oil rises again amid Middle East military escalation

U.S. benchmark crude (WTI) rose $0.86 to trade at $80.20 per barrel, while Brent, the international benchmark, gained $1.15 to $85.88 per barrel.

On Tuesday, oil closed up 2%, reaching a one-month high, driven by attacks that worsened supply concerns in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Brent and WTI have made upward corrections consistent with the escalation of attacks, but the magnitude of the move will likely moderate now as the market waits to see any change in posture by the U.S. and Iran,” said June Goh, senior oil market analyst at Sparta Commodities, in an interview with Reuters.

The commercial flow also included a methanol tanker and a bulk carrier carrying iron ore, both departing the Gulf on Tuesday.

Jordanian military said it shot down three missiles launched by Iran

The Jordanian Armed Forces reported that their air-defense systems intercepted and shot down three ballistic missiles that entered Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory. In an official statement, authorities said Royal Engineers teams handled the debris from the fallen missiles at different locations, followed established technical and safety protocols, and secured the affected areas to protect people and property.

“The Jordanian Armed Forces reject any violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty or the use of its airspace to threaten its security and stability,” the military said, emphasizing that it maintains air surveillance at the highest readiness level.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck Gulf countries after CENTCOM operation

The Iranian military announced early Wednesday new drone strikes on U.S. military facilities in the Middle East amid the latest escalation between Tehran and Washington. In a statement distributed by Tasnim, which is linked to the IRGC, the Al Azraq airbase in Jordan — where F-18 fighters, housing and U.S. equipment depots were located — was attacked with drones.

The military defended the operation, named “Lightning,” saying “the era of slap-in-the-face strikes is over” and that any action against the soil, waters and air of this historic country will not go unanswered or without a proportional cost.

Additionally, the IRGC reported attacks by its Navy and Aerospace Force on a U.S. depot at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain and on U.S. drones at Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait. According to the statement, “in a simultaneous missile and drone operation, naval and aerospace forces of the IRGC destroyed several ammunition and spare-parts depots for enemy ships and aircraft at Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain a few hours ago.”

The military communique also said they “attacked the ramp where enemy MQ-9 drones were deployed at Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait, destroying or damaging several of them.”

Iran: the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until “U.S. harms end”

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that the strategic waterway will remain closed until U.S. actions cease, according to a statement released Tuesday. The military said U.S. forces attacked Iranian bases “under the pretext of striking offending vessels” attempting to transit the strait, “to hide their defeat and incapacity.”

The IRGC added that “no ship dared to violate [the Iranian blockade] or accompany the United States,” and therefore “naturally there were no impacts” during the operation.
