The US has launched more strikes against Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, US Central Command said. Shortly afterward, Iranian media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas and the islands of Kish, Qeshm and Abu Musa.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper told CNN he would like to see the U.S. walk away from the recently agreed-upon memorandum of understanding with Iran. Esper added that increasing economic pressure on Iran is the most effective strategy at this point.
