US Conducts Third Round of Major Strikes Against Iranian Military Targets
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) completed a third wave of precision-guided strikes against approximately 140 Iranian military targets, including missile and drone sites, naval assets, and coastal surveillance positions. The strikes follow an Iranian attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that forced its crew to abandon ship. Iran retaliated with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman, claiming to have closed the strategic waterway until further notice.
