US Conducts 11th Day of Iranian Strikes

The United States military completed its 11th consecutive day of airstrikes against military assets inside Iran, targeting command centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and logistics infrastructure.

US Central Command confirmed the strikes aim to systematically degrade Tehran’s capacity to disrupt international trade and threaten commercial vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz.

The sustained campaign follows a sharp escalation in regional maritime conflicts, during which Iranian forces attacked over 30 merchant ships transiting the strategic choke point.

CENTCOM forces began striking military targets in Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the 11th consecutive night. The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM emphasised that these unprovoked actions directly threatened hundreds of civilian mariners, crippled vital global shipping routes, and forced allied militaries to intervene to safeguard freedom of navigation.
