U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has begun a third round of strikes in as many days against Iranian military targets, with operations commencing at approximately 4:45 p.m. ET, marking another escalation in the rapidly expanding confrontation centered on the Strait of Hormuz. The latest strikes follow days of Iranian attacks on commercial shipping, Tehran's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and previous U.S. operations targeting Iranian missile sites, naval assets, air defenses, command-and-control facilities, and coastal surveillance infrastructure. Today's operations also come after the revocation of the U.S. sanctions waiver covering Iranian petrochemical exports, President Donald J. Trump's announcement that the U.S. naval blockade of Iran will resume tomorrow, and his warning earlier today that "we're just going to hit them very hard" and that military action would continue "tonight and tomorrow."
