US Strikes About 90 Iranian Military Targets Along Coast, Says CENTCOM

U.S. military forces launched a significant wave of strikes against Iranian military positions on Wednesday, targeting around 90 sites along Iran's coastline. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated the operation aimed to diminish Tehran's capacity to threaten commercial shipping navigating the critical Strait of Hormuz. The strikes hit a range of targets, including air defense systems, coastal surveillance equipment, missile and drone storage facilities, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure. CENTCOM noted these actions followed operations conducted the previous night, which were a response to Iran's alleged attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. "CENTCOM forces hit approximately 80 Iranian military targets July 7, including more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats, to impose heavy costs for Iran violating the ceasefire by attacking three commercial vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz," the command said in a statement. The latest operation marks a further escalation in the ongoing confrontation between the United States and Iran, as tensions continue to rise around the strategic shipping lane.
