United States Central Command (Centcom) says it launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran’s Greater Tunb Island at 7:30am Eastern time (4:30pm PKT).

“Centcom launched precision munitions against coastal defence systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island during the 90-minute wave,” the military says on X. “The strikes further degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”
