President Donald Trump said the US military on Friday carried out a new round of limited strikes on Iran, targeting an air defence system. According to The Guardian, Trump described the action as "minor," and the outlet's headline calls it another round of such strikes.

The Guardian reported that the announcement came days after an earlier attack on Iran was made public. The summary does not say when that earlier attack took place, who made it public, or what it involved, nor does it say whether the two actions are linked.

According to The Guardian, the announcement also came as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have accelerated. The report does not describe those efforts, identify the parties involved, or say whether they bear on the strikes.

Iranian state media, as cited by The Guardian, reported the sound of two explosions in the Suza area. The summary does not say whether those explosions were the strikes Trump described, and it does not report damage, casualties, or an Iranian government response.

The Guardian credited the report to Guardian staff and agencies, and the account therefore rests on Trump's own statement and on Iranian state media reporting. Neither source, as summarized here, offers independent confirmation of the details of the strikes.

The account is limited to the excerpt available for this report, and details beyond those described here are not known from the sources used. The sources do not establish the outcome of the strikes, and further detail would have to come from later reporting, which is not among the sources used here.
