Tasnim News Agency <\/a>reported that Iran\u2019s military command declared the strait \u201ccompletely closed to all types of vessels.\u201d The command said \u201cany vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted.\u201d<\/p>\nIran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards navy said two ships tried to pass through the waterway. State television IRIB and the Mehr agency reported that Iranian forces hit both vessels. The Guards said the ships attempted to \u201cillegally pass through the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d They also warned ships against leaving anchorages in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman.<\/p>\n
\u201cApproaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy,\u201d the Guards said. The warning followed earlier claims of US attacks near Iran\u2019s southern coast. Iranian media also reported explosions near Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Minab, and Sirik. Iranian sources said \u201cenemy projectiles\u201d hit Qeshm, Kargan, and Sirik.<\/p>\n

US launches new strikes in Iran<\/h2>\n
US Central Command said it launched strikes against multiple Iranian targets on June 10. The command described them as \u201cadditional self-defence strikes.\u201d CENTCOM said the strikes began at 5.15pm New York time. It added that the action answered Iran\u2019s \u201cunwarranted and continued aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n
As it was reported by crypto.news, the new attacks followed US strikes on June 9 after Iran downed a US Apache helicopter. Iranian media said those earlier strikes hit air defence, radar, and other sites. President Donald Trump accused Iran of delaying talks on an interim peace deal. He told reporters that US forces would \u201chit them hard\u201d before the strikes began.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hit them hard yesterday, and we\u2019re going to hit them hard again today,\u201d Trump said. He declined to name the targets before the military announcement. Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry accused the United States of striking civilian infrastructure. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the strikes sought to push Iran toward a deal.<\/p>\n

Talks continue as the Qatar delegation arrives<\/h2>\n
A White House official said negotiations continued, even as Washington increased military pressure. The official said the US would maintain pressure until both sides reach a deal. Trump later said the US military supported the passage of more than 200 commercial ships. He said those movements carried more than 100 million barrels of oil to market.<\/p>\n
Trump also claimed the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz, \u201cnot Iran.\u201d Tehran\u2019s latest statement directly challenged that claim through its closure order. The semi-official Iranian Students\u2019 News Agency reported that a Qatari delegation reached Tehran on June 10. The delegation planned to discuss the diplomatic process to end the war.<\/p>\n
The closure announcement followed claims of repeated ceasefire violations by the \u201cAmerican enemy.\u201d Iran said the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until further notice. The waterway remains central to oil and commercial shipping between the Persian Gulf and global markets. Iranian media reported the closure after explosions across southern Iran near the strait.<\/p>\n
