Axios: US airstrikes on Iran tonight could reach 100. According to National Iraqi News Agency, American airstrikes on Iran are continuing, and may reach 100 tonight. Axios reported that the ongoing military action is a response to Iranian actions in targeting oil tankers.

The website quoted a US official, stating, “Every time Iran targets an oil tanker, US forces will bomb an Iranian oil tanker.” This reflects a tit-for-tat strategy by the US military forces in response to Iranian provocations in the region.

Additionally, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported eight explosions on the southern coast of Qeshm Island in Hormozgan province, southern Iran. This area has been a point of tension and could be indicative of the reported airstrikes.
