CENTCOM said the seven-hour operation hit dozens of military targets to curb Iran’s threats to commercial shipping and civilian crews.

  • The strikes followed the U.S. Navy resuming a naval blockade at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, with over 20 warships and hundreds of military aircraft operating in the Middle East after the previous blockade ended June 18.
  • Tuesday marked the fourth consecutive day of U.S. strikes, with military targets struck Monday across Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas.

  • CENTCOM stated U.S. forces remain "vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief," underscoring commitment across four consecutive rounds of military action against Iran.
