U.S. pounds Hormuz Strait anti-ship missile sites with bunker-busters
U.S. forces used 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs to degrade Iranian missile sites threatening commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for 20% of global oil exports.
- Early Wednesday, U.S. Central Command forces employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions against hardened Iranian missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz coastline.
- Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles at these sites posed a risk to international shipping, following a series of regional incidents including drone strikes and tanker attacks disrupting the Strait.
- President Trump stated on Truth Social Tuesday that most NATO allies declined to join the operation, asserting military success has decimated Iran's Navy, Air Force, and leadership.
- Regional instability persists as Persian Gulf states report hundreds of attacks throughout the conflict, and the United Arab Emirates continues monitoring threats to commercial vessels near the vital maritime chokepoint.
