U.S. Central Command said it completed its ninth consecutive night of strikes on Iran early Monday, hitting military command centers, air defense positions, coastal surveillance stations, naval capabilities, and missile and drone launch sites across the country. The operation, which concluded at 22:00 ET (05:00 Jerusalem time) on July 19, targets the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other Iranian military assets, according to CENTCOM. The strikes are part of an ongoing campaign to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, following a series of Iranian attacks on vessels. CENTCOM stated that its forces remain at the highest readiness. The ninth night of strikes extends a campaign that began over a week ago, with the U.S. military maintaining a steady tempo of operations against Iranian military infrastructure.
