The United States military launched a fourth round of strikes on Iran after the regime had targeted its attacks on Gulf states on Sunday.

Before the new round of U.S. strikes, Tehran took credit on Sunday for attacking Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar and Oman, according to reports.

Iran had fired at a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and said the strait is closed, prompting U.S. strikes.

The U.S. on Sunday contradicted Iran and said the Hormuz Strait is still open.
