WASHINGTON, June ⁠27 (Reuters) - The United ⁠States carried out further ‌strikes on Iran on Saturday, said the U.S. Central Command, ​targeting various sites, ⁠including military ⁠surveillance infrastructure.

"CENTCOM forces launched strikes ⁠today in ‌direct response to continued ⁠Iranian aggression against commercial shipping," ​CENTCOM ‌said in a statement.

"After yesterday’s ⁠U.S. ​strikes in response to the Iranian attack ⁠on M/V Ever Lovely, ​Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire ⁠agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way ​attack drone ⁠that hit M/T Kiku this ​morning," it ‌said.
