Iran is firing back this morning with Bahrain confirming new attacks after U.S. Central Command said its latest wave of strikes lasted five hours and hit military targets across Iran

The military says the goal was to further weaken Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping after several ships were targeted in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days
