US military announces completion of a new round of strikes against Iran

Odaily News The latest statement and video from the U.S. Central Command state that the U.S. military has launched a new round of offensive strikes against Iran, using precision-guided munitions to hit more than 80 targets, in a "direct response to Iran's recent attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz."

The statement says that this round of U.S. strikes targeted Iran's air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, and anti-ship missile capabilities. Additionally, over 60 small vessels belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were destroyed in the strait and surrounding waters. The U.S. military noted that Iran had previously attacked three commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz: the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker "Al Rekayat," the Saudi Arabia-flagged oil tanker "Wadian," and the Liberia-flagged oil tanker "Cyprus Prosperity." U.S. Central Command forces remain on high alert, stating that "if Iran fails to comply with or violates the agreement, the U.S. will hold it accountable at any time." (Jinshi)
