US Conducts 90 Air Strikes on IRGC Facilities in Iran Following Hormuz Attacks
On July 9, 2026, the United States launched its largest military operation since the June truce, striking approximately 90 strategic targets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) across Iran. Coordinated precision strikes hit aerospace sites in Bushehr, port infrastructure in Chabahar, and drone command centers. The operation was a response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on July 6-7. One firefighter was reportedly killed at Iranshahr Airport.
