US military hits Iranian missile launch sites, destroys IRGC boats amid ongoing peace negotiations; all you need to know

US-Iran Tensions: The U.S. military carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran on Monday (May 25, 2026), targeting missile launch sites and boats placing mines. This latest escalation came even as President Donald Trump stated on social media that negotiations were “proceeding nicely.” According to U.S. Central Command, the strikes were conducted “to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” while emphasizing that the military was “using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, said, as quoted by FOX News.
“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” Hawkins added. No further details were available at the time of filing this report, including specifics on the threats from Iran or what this development means for negotiations.
 
Meanwhile, Trump reaffirmed that Iran must hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium to the United States for destruction, while also pressing for a broad expansion of the Abraham Accords potentially extending to Tehran itself as part of a future regional peace framework.
 
Dubbing Iran’s enriched uranium “nuclear dust,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that it should either be transferred to the United States or destroyed under international supervision at an agreed location. “The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location,” Trump wrote.
