On May 7 and 8, 2026, U.S. Central Command launched precision strikes against Iranian missile and drone launch sites, command centers, and ISR nodes in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Port. The operation followed an unprovoked Iranian attack involving multiple missiles, drones, and small boats targeting the destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM confirmed no U.S. assets were damaged while the Iranian attack force was largely neutralized.
