US Conducts Second Round of Strikes on Iran’s Southern Coast; Trump Predicts Short-Lived Impact

The US military launched a second wave of strikes over three days, targeting Iranian radar systems and mine‑laying capabilities along the southern coast. President Trump said the strikes would likely be short‑lived, implying the US will continue to target Iranian coastal defenses. The attacks hit key infrastructure that supports Iran’s maritime surveillance and mine deployment, and are part of a broader effort to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten shipping lanes and regional security. The US aims to maintain pressure on Iran’s southern maritime assets while limiting the duration of each strike operation.
