Trump orders huge wave of missile strikes on Iran in major escalation as chilling warning is issued to U.S. citizens | 1 Sept 2026 | Donald Trump has ordered a fresh wave of ballistic missile strikes against Iran after U.S. embassies across the Middle East issued new security warnings to Americans in the region. Around a dozen strikes have targeted Iranian radar systems and military assets along a 300-mile stretch of the coast of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media has reported strikes on the country’s oil-rich Qeshm Island located on the northern side of the strait. Explosions were reported in the southern port cities of Bandar Abbas and Chabahar. The latest U.S. attack comes after Iranian strikes over the weekend on American bases in Jordan, with U.S. Central Command stating it is “hitting back hard” against Iran.
