US conducts additional precision strikes on Iranian targets in Strait of Hormuz

U.S. Central Command announced Sunday evening that American forces carried out a new wave of airstrikes against Iranian positions, hitting “dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision munitions.” The operation, described as a response to recent attacks on commercial vessels, was aimed at “degrading Iran’s ability to continue attacking international shipping” through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, where the two sides have resumed hostilities.

The strikes mark an escalation in the ongoing confrontation that began earlier this month after a series of missile and drone assaults on merchant ships transiting the narrow waterway. U.S. officials said the targeted sites included command and control facilities, weapons depots and launch points linked to the recent aggressions. Both nations have warned that further incidents could threaten the flow of global oil and trade, underscoring the heightened risk of a broader regional conflict.
