US Central Command Launches Wave of Strikes Against Iran Targeting Strait of Hormuz
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on social media platform X that it initiated a series of military strikes against Iran starting at 15:00 UTC (22:00 Israel time). The operation aims to degrade Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, CENTCOM stated that a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would commence at 16:00 UTC (23:00 Israel time). This coordinated action reflects escalating tensions in the strategic maritime corridor vital for global oil shipments.
