美国中央司令部确认已对伊朗发动第三轮打击，爆炸发生在班达阿巴斯和锡里克两地 [1][2]。此次行动发生在一周内，旨在回应伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）向通过霍尔木兹海峡的民用船只发射警告射击并造成损害的事件 [1][3]。美国中央司令部称其部队对伊朗至少 140 个目标进行了打击，包括导弹和无人机阵地、海军能力以及弹药库等 [2][3][5]。
冲突起因于德黑兰指责一艘悬挂塞浦路斯国旗的集装箱船未经授权使用海峡并偏离航线 [3]。该船只被击中后造成“严重的引擎室损坏”，导致一名平民船员失踪，随后另一艘船只也被击毁 [1][4]。伊朗革命卫队称其发射警告射击是为了迫使违规船只停船 [1]。作为回应，美国国防部长 Pete Hegseth 在社交媒体上表示：“伊朗做出了错误的选择。现在他们付出了代价。”[1]
局势迅速升级至地区层面。伊朗宣布霍尔木兹海峡将无限期关闭，并表示若遭受更多攻击将针对地区内的其他敌方基地 [1][2]。与此同时，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队对约旦、阿联酋、卡塔尔和科威特等地实施了报复性打击 [4]。巴林、科威特和约旦等国报告拦截了来自伊朗的导弹或敌意火力威胁 [5]；阿联酋、科威特和巴林表示其防空系统正在应对相关威胁 [3]。美国总统特朗普在社交媒体上宣称“昨晚把敌人炸得粉碎”，并警告称"1000 枚导弹已锁定并瞄准伊斯兰共和国”，若遇刺将自动进行报复 [5][4]。
伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊在其父阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊葬礼后发表声明，誓言要为其被杀复仇 [1][3]。此前两天的打击造成至少 17 人死亡、115 人受伤（据伊朗卫生部发言人 Hossein Kermanpour 称）[1]。
外交层面同样紧张激烈。伊朗外交部长 Abbas Araghchi 指责美国违反临时协议，通过取消豁免权禁止伊朗以美元出售原油 [1]。他在阿曼与官员会面讨论安全机制期间重申了相关立场 [3]。澳大利亚外长发言人呼吁伊朗遵守停火协议，确保海峡安全通行 [3]。尽管阿曼等国正努力斡旋谈判以恢复海峡通行和停火，但双方围绕控制权、协议遵守情况及暗杀威胁的对峙持续升级 [1][3]。
The U.S. Central Command announced its third round of strikes against Iranian targets in response to an attack on a civilian vessel navigating the Strait of Hormuz [1][2]. The offensive targeted at least 140 locations, including missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition depots, air defense systems, radar stations, and equipment for missiles [3][5]. Explosions were reported near Bandar Abbas and Sirik during the operation [1].
The immediate trigger was an incident involving a Cyprus-flagged container ship that suffered severe damage to its engine room after being struck by Iranian fire [1]. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated it fired warning shots at the vessel for ignoring warnings and deviating from its course, subsequently stopping the ship [1][3]. The attack resulted in one civilian crew member going missing while others abandoned the damaged MV GFS Galaxy [4]. In a separate incident involving another vessel, Iran also struck an aircraft maintenance center at Udayid Air Base in Qatar [3].
In retaliation for these actions and to assert control over the waterway, Tehran declared that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely until further notice [1][2][3][4]. The IRGC vowed additional retaliatory strikes against other enemy bases within the region if more attacks occurred [1]. This escalation follows a week-long series of confrontations where U.S. forces launched new strikes on Iran, prompting Tehran to close the strategic chokepoint again after previous incidents [2].
The conflict has intensified diplomatic and military tensions across the Middle East. The United States reported that its allies in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and the UAE intercepted missiles and drones threatening their airspace [3][5]. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth commented on social media regarding Iran's actions: "Iran made a wrong choice. Now they are paying the price" [1]. President Trump stated that 1,000 missiles were locked onto the Islamic Republic and warned of automatic retaliation if he or others were assassinated [3][5].
Conversely, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued statements following his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral, vowing revenge for what Iran described as an assassination attempt on their family line [1][4][5]. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of violating a temporary agreement by revoking exemptions that prohibited Iran from selling crude oil in U.S. dollars [1]. Meanwhile, officials from Australia called upon Tehran to adhere to ceasefire agreements and ensure safe passage through the strait [3], while Iranian diplomats met with Omani officials in Muscat to discuss safety mechanisms for shipping lanes [3].
The violence has already claimed a significant toll on civilians; Iran's Ministry of Health spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour reported that previous strikes over the last two days killed at least 17 people and injured 115 others [1]. Despite ongoing mediation efforts by nations such as Oman to restore peace, both sides continue to vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran asserting it is sovereign territory not subject to external interference while the U.S. maintains its right to keep the strait open [3][5].
