The U.S. said the strikes hit more than 140 targets and were meant to curb Iran’s attacks on commercial shipping.
- Overnight and into early Monday, the Navy launched another round of strikes against Iran to degrade their ability to attack commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, following an Iranian attack on a container ship.

- President Donald Trump said, "We bombed the hell out of them," while Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, speaker of Iran's parliament, wrote that the "era of one-sided deals is OVER.
