CENTCOM releases footage of strikes on southern Iran targets, including bulldozer and pier

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) published footage showing scenes from its strikes on targets in southern Iran and along the coast, including a bulldozer, a maritime pier, and a boat, according to security analyst Chananel Aviv. Aviv described the footage as 'not particularly impressive.'

CENTCOM released new footage early Tuesday morning showing strikes on a bulldozer, a maritime pier, and a boat in southern Iran, according to Israeli security analyst Chananel Aviv, who shared the clip on Telegram. Aviv described the footage as 'not particularly impressive.' The release comes after CENTCOM had completed its 12th consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets as of Saturday, July 18, as part of an ongoing campaign to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. Central Command has been conducting nightly airstrikes since early July, targeting command centers, naval capabilities, drone warehouses, and logistics infrastructure. By Saturday, CENTCOM confirmed it had completed 12 straight nights of operations. The campaign has been accompanied by periodic releases of footage, including a 75-minute operation documented earlier. The stated aim is to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has attacked over 30 commercial vessels in the past three months, according to CENTCOM.

The new footage, showing a bulldozer and a pier being hit, appears to focus on coastal and maritime infrastructure. Aviv, a security analyst who has previously commented on CENTCOM releases, characterized the imagery as unimpressive. The specific location and timing of the strikes depicted have not been disclosed, and the footage has not been independently verified.
