CENTCOM said US forces carried out a new wave of strikes on Iranian military targets across six locations, targeting missile, drone and coastal defense systems.
The US military said it completed a new wave of strikes against Iranian military targets late Sunday, targeting sites it said were linked to Tehran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the region.
In a statement on X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the operation concluded at 10:15 p.m. ET on July 13 after a five-hour mission.

According to CENTCOM, US forces struck military targets in Bushehr, Chabahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas, using precision-guided munitions against Iranian coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities.
The military said the strikes were intended to further degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping.
CENTCOM added that more than 50,000 US service members remain deployed across the Middle East and said American forces are "vigilant, lethal, and ready."
