US Central Command (Centcom) has dismissed Iranian claims that it struck a wheat storage facility in Hoveyzeh yesterday.

“On July 14, US forces hit Iranian military targets in Bandar Abbas, Khormuj, Ahvaz, Qeshm, Tunb, Bushehr and Kuh-i-Stak to degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” Centcom says in a post on X, accusing Iran of targeting civilians transiting the strait and in neighbouring Gulf countries.
