CENTCOM announced that it had completed a new wave of strikes against Iran.
According to the statement, during operations conducted on July 12, dozens of targets at multiple locations were struck with precision-guided munitions to reduce Iran's capability to attack international maritime shipping.
The statement said the strikes targeted Iran's air defense systems, coastal radar installations, missile and drone capabilities, as well as small naval assets.
