The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Thursday that the US military completed a new round of military strikes against Iran on Wednesday, July 8, aimed at undermining its ability to target commercial ships and civilian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz.

The command said US forces targeted about 90 Iranian military targets, including air defense systems, coastal surveillance facilities, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along the Iranian coast.

It added that these strikes came after carrying out offensive strikes described as successful inside Iran the previous night.
