US struck 140 Iranian military targets

US forces completed a third round of strikes this week against Iran, the Central Command said on Sunday in a post on X.

Axar.az reports, citing U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), July 11, US forces hit approximately 140 Iranian military targets with precision munitions launched by land- and sea-based fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels.

Targets included Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations.

According to the statement, during three nights of strikes this week, CENTCOM has struck more than 300 targets at the direction of the Commander in Chief to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels freely transiting the strait. Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue.

Since early May, U.S. forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 400 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz, CENTOM said.

“Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay,” Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth said on X reposting a CENTCOM post on the attacks.
