Tel Aviv, Mike. And John, we're tracking down reports of fresh explosions inside of Iran. What we've got coming through the Reuters news agency is that missile launching capability in Iraq, in Iran, I should say, was hit. The area the explosions are reported is Keshem Island and Bandar Abbas, that is to the northwest side of the Strait of Hormuz. And all of this follows a fresh round of airstrikes that are confirmed by, or there is confirmed by, the U.S. Central command. The U.S. says sea-based and land-based fighter jets, as well as drones and munitions fired from ships, were all used in the attack. The U.S. says the targets included missile, drone sites, naval capabilities, and sites used for surveillance. 140 targets were hit in last night's round of strikes. That latest round of strikes was triggered by Iran firing on another commercial ship crossing the Strait of Hormuz. A ship flagged out of Cyprus was hit. There was a fire on board and damage to the engine room. At last report, the ship was immobile and STUCK IN THE STRAIGHT. A CREW MEMBER, A MAN FROM INDIA, IS NOW MISSING. SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH POSTED IRAN MADE A POOR CHOICE. NOW THEY PAY.
