US strikes Iran for 11th consecutive night

Published Updated

The United States military said that it carried out strikes in Iran for the 11th consecutive night.

“Centcom assets targeted Iranian military operations centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” it said.

“Over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway vital for regional and global trade. The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation,” it said.

“Despite Iranian aggression, the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessel transit. Since early May, Centcom forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil,” it added.
