WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — The US military said its latest wave of air strikes against Iran has been completed. US Central Command (CENTCOM), posting on X, said the strikes hit Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems.
In its statement, CENTCOM added that US forces were prepared to hold Iran "accountable" for what it described as "unjust attacks" on civilians' freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The command did not provide immediate details on the timing or scope of the operations beyond the targets listed.
Separately, the British military reported another tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps earlier in the day claimed responsibility for strikes against two ships, according to the statement. No further details on casualties or damage were immediately available.
