The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Monday said it had completed a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran, hitting dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision munitions in an effort to degrade Tehran's ability to attack international shipping passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
"CENTCOM forces struck Iranian military air-defence systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using U.S. fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time," CENTCOM said in a statement.
