US renews strikes on IRGC; Iran vows retaliation as peace, ceasefire stall
CENTCOM hails striking of 90 Iranian targets: We ‘remain vigilant, lethal’ at Trump’s direction
U.S. forces hit roughly 90 Iranian military targets Wednesday in another round of strikes aimed at weakening Tehran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said.
CENTCOM said the targets included air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline.
The strikes followed a separate operation the night before, when U.S. forces hit about 80 Iranian military targets, including more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats, after Iran attacked three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to CENTCOM.
The command said the latest operation was designed to “further degrade” Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping and civilian mariners in the critical waterway.
“U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief,” CENTCOM said.
President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire “over” Wednesday, concluding the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.
