The US military said it carried out the seventh night of strikes on Iran since President Donald Trump declared the temporary ceasefire agreement was "over".
In a statement shared on X, US Central Command (Centcom) wrote that its forces "hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities".
Iran claimed to have responded by targeting US allies in the region, including Kuwait – whose army said its air defences had been "confronting hostile missile and drone attacks" following "Iranian aggression".
Jordan's military also said it had intercepted 10 Iranian missiles fired into its airspace overnight. No damage was reported.
Centcom said it had ended its strikes at 21:30 ET (02:30 BST) after several hours.
"U.S. forces employed fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships in addition to other assets," it said in its statement.
Iran's state-run Fars agency had said two oil tankers "exploded and caught fire while passing through a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz". Later, Centcom posted on X: "Like most IRGC claims, this is false."
