00:00The United States has launched a new round of airstrikes targeting Iran.
00:05The U.S. Military Central Command says it hit some 90 targets in Iran today.
00:11Now, that includes sites at an airport as well as missile launchers.
00:16That's according to black and white footage released by the U.S. Military Central Command.
00:20Meanwhile, in Iran, they say at least one person has been killed, a firefighter who was responding to a strike
00:26at an airport in Aranshar.
00:28They also say that bridges apparently were targeted again for the first time in the war since the ceasefire has
00:35been put in place.
00:36U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened to begin targeting infrastructure in Iran over its continued attacks on ships trying
00:43to go through the Strait of Hormuz through a route around Oman to the south.
00:49Tehran doesn't like that.
00:50It wants to control the Strait of Hormuz and decide what ships go through, potentially even charging fees, upending decades
00:57of global understanding about the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, through which about a fifth of all oil and
01:04natural gas traded once passed.
01:06Missile alert sirens went off in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar this morning as Iran retaliated.
01:13There's no word on if there's any damage in those Gulf countries, but it just shows how everything is escalating.
01:20And this interim deal to try to end the war now looks increasingly at risk as this crossfire continues.
