The US military announced on Wednesday that it had completed the latest series of strikes against Iranian targets, which it said resulted in 'further undermining Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.'

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on X that it 'launched precision-guided munitions targeting coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island during this 90-minute wave.'

The US military had earlier on Wednesday announced that it had begun a new wave of airstrikes on Iran at 6:00 AM Eastern Time (10:00 AM GMT).
