The United States military has announced that it carried out strikes on 90 targets inside Iran in a new phase of operations. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the attacks were conducted in response to Iranian assaults on commercial ships and civilian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM stated that the strikes targeted Iranian military assets along the coast, including air defense systems, coastal surveillance equipment, missile and drone storage facilities, naval capabilities, and logistical infrastructure. The operation marks an escalation following an earlier US strike on more than 80 Iranian targets earlier in the week.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, indicates that the US action is part of a continuing military response to maritime threats in the region, though further details on casualties or damage were not provided.
