The strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the completion of a third round of strikes against Iranian military targets this week, July 11, in response to Iran's continued attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes, conducted over three nights, hit more than 300 targets, including missile and drone launch sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations. CENTCOM said the operations were directed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the strategic waterway. The announcement comes amid an ongoing U.S. campaign that has seen multiple waves of strikes since early May, as The Zioneer has previously reported. CENTCOM noted that more than 800 commercial vessels and 400 million barrels of crude oil have successfully transited the strait since early May with U.S. assistance. No information on Iranian casualties or damage assessment was provided by CENTCOM.
