U.S. launches new daylight attacks on Iran, upping pressure alongside naval blockade

CENTCOM said the seven-hour operation hit dozens of military targets to curb Iran’s threats to commercial shipping and civilian crews.

  • Late Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT, U.S. Central Command completed a seven-hour wave of strikes against Iran, hitting dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.
  • The strikes followed the U.S. Navy resuming a naval blockade at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, with over 20 warships and hundreds of military aircraft operating in the Middle East after the previous blockade ended June 18.
  • Tuesday marked the fourth consecutive day of U.S. strikes, with military targets struck Monday across Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas. President Trump warned in a Fox News interview that "next week it gets really bad for them" as operations will target "power plants" and "bridges."
  • On Monday, President Trump announced the U.S. would be "reimbursed" 20 percent of cargo shipped through the Strait, then shifted course the next day by deciding to "replace" that arrangement with Trade and Investment Deals from Gulf States into the United States.
  • CENTCOM stated U.S. forces remain "vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief," underscoring commitment across four consecutive rounds of military action against Iran.
