The United States military began conducting its seventh consecutive night of missile strikes Friday on Iran now that a ceasefire between the two countries has officially ended.

Fighting in the region resumed this week after negotiations failed to end the conflict, which was in a state of nominal ceasefire for months. In June, the countries signed a memorandum of understanding extending the ceasefire by 60 days.

"CENTCOM launched a round of strikes against Iran at 3 p.m. ET today for the seventh consecutive night," United States Central Command said on X. "The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iranian military capabilities at the Commander in Chief's direction."

The U.S. has also resumed its maximum pressure campaign against Iran this week by sanctioning some of its oil producers and entities, and individuals associated with the country's weapons procurement.

Despite the military actions and the sanctions, the Trump administration has ruled out sending American troops into Iran, according to Vice President JD Vance.
