The U.S. on Monday launched strikes on Iran for the third consecutive day as hostilities flared over Tehran's targeting of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. assets in the region.

"At 4:45 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief's direction," CENTCOM wrote in a post on X. "These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."

The announcement came hours after the U.S. Navy-led Joint Maritime Information Center said it will resume a blockade of Iranian ports, oil terminals, and coastal areas beginning at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The blockade will apply to any vessel regardless of the flag it flies.

"The resumption of the U.S. blockade against Iran follows the initial implementation from April 13 to June 18," CENTCOM wrote in another post on X. "CENTCOM forces redirected more than 140 compliant vessels, disabled nine non-compliant ships, and allowed over 50 commercial vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass through the blockade during the two-month period."

The JMIC said neutral transit through the Strait of Hormuz heading to or from non-Iranian destinations will not be impeded.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on Monday claimed strikes against Bahrain and Oman. It said the attacks destroyed radar systems in Oman and targeted U.S. military facilities on the southern edge of Manama, Bahrain's capital.

"In addition to targeting U.S. military facilities and infrastructure in Juffair, Bahrain, where fires are raging, the navy of the Revolutionary Guards has ... targeted and destroyed the long-range airborne FPS radar and the ship-detection radar in the Sultanate of Oman," said a statement from the IRGC carried by its Sepah news outlet, according to CBS News.

Jordan's military said Monday it had shot down four Iranian missiles over the country, which Tehran said were intended as retaliation for U.S. strikes.

"At dawn today, air defense systems intercepted and shot down four missiles that had entered Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory," an official source from the Jordanian General Staff told CBS News, adding that there were no reports of injuries or damage to property.
