US forces launched another wave of strikes against Iran on Wednesday morning, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said, as Washington continued its military campaign targeting Iranian capabilities.
"At 6 a.m. ET today, US Central Command forces began launching a wave of strikes against Iran," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
The command said the strikes were aimed at further degrading military capabilities that Iranian forces have used to target commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route.
The latest attacks came as the US reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and launched a fourth consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran.
The developments mark another escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a major focus due to its importance for global energy shipments.
