The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said its forces ended an evening wave of strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 15.

“US forces struck Iranian command centers, air defense sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten innocent mariners crewing commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

“CENTCOM used precision munitions to hit targets in multiple locations including Bandar Abbas,” reads a CENTCOM statement.

“Earlier this morning, American forces struck coastal defense and cruise missile sites on Greater Tunb Island during a 90-minute wave,” it noted.

The US military is holding Iran accountable at the direction of Commander in Chief Admiral Brad Cooper, the statement added.
