US Strikes Iran: Over 80 Targets Hit in Major Airstrike Operation

The United States has escalated its military actions against Iran, launching a new and significantly larger wave of airstrikes targeting more than 80 Iranian sites. U.S. officials indicated that the scale of this operation far exceeds previous retaliatory strikes, with the number of targets being approximately eight times greater than those hit in late June.

Precision-guided munitions were employed in the strikes, which were expected to continue for several hours. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that the operation aimed to degrade Iran's capacity to attack international shipping. Key targets included Iran's air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar installations, and anti-ship missile infrastructure.

Furthermore, the strikes encompassed over 60 small vessels belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) located in and around the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command stated that Iran's unprovoked aggression violates ceasefire agreements and undermines freedom of navigation. The U.S. military remains on alert and prepared to hold Iran accountable if it fails to comply with its commitments.

The U.S. military will continue to maintain its deployment and readiness, and as long as Iran does not comply with or fulfill the agreement, the U.S. side will be ready to hold Iran accountable at any time.
