U.S. Central Command said it struck dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and along Iran's coastal areas in a wave of strikes that lasted seven hours, according to Israeli news outlet N12. The operation is the latest in a series of ongoing CENTCOM strikes against Iranian military infrastructure.
CENTCOM announced early Wednesday morning that it completed another round of airstrikes against Iranian military targets, striking dozens of sites near the Strait of Hormuz and along Iran's coastal areas. The operation lasted seven hours, according to the statement relayed by Israeli news outlet N12.
The strikes are part of a sustained U.S. campaign to degrade the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' ability to disrupt commercial shipping in the strategic waterway. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple rounds of CENTCOM strikes against Iran, including a five-hour wave on July 13 that hit six locations, and a third round on July 12 that struck over 140 targets. Since early May, the U.S. has enabled safe passage of hundreds of merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
No specific target list or damage assessment was provided in the latest announcement. CENTCOM did not detail which coastal or naval facilities were struck, nor whether Iranian air defenses were engaged. The statement comes as the U.S. maintains a deployment of over 50,000 service members across the Middle East.
