The US military has launched a fresh wave of strikes against Iran as American forces prepare to begin a naval blockade on Iranian ports and coastal areas later today. US Central Command says the operation is targeting Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The latest strikes mark the fourth consecutive night of US attacks. The naval blockade is scheduled to take effect at 4 p.m. ET (11 p.m. Israel time, 11:30 p.m. Iran time).

For the first time since the conflict began, Iran has reportedly launched cluster munition missiles toward Bahrain, according to initial reports.

Iran's state power company Tavanir announced planned electricity outages in Tehran beginning tomorrow, attributing them to a sharp rise in temperatures and a significant increase in consumption in the capital. The Greater Tehran Electricity Distribution Company said the rolling cuts would be imposed to maintain the stability of the city's power grid. The official explanation comes as strikes have hit power infrastructure across parts of Iran in recent days, including near the power plant on Kish Island, as we reported earlier. Sources indicate to BNN that damage to the power network, rather than the heat, is driving the cuts.

Bahrain's Ministry of Interior said a siren has sounded and urged citizens and residents to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.
