US military says it struck multiple targets in Iran as ceasefire is strained by 2nd day of attacks

It's not over?

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military said Saturday it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.

The military said in a post on X that “Iran had a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement” but “elected not to” when its forces attacked a ship near the Strait of Hormuz earlier Saturday.

Iran state TV reported explosions north of the Strait of Hormuz.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

"The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

A ceasefire includes firing weapons. A ceasefire has always included firing weapons.
