'Vigilant, Lethal, Ready': US Releases Video of 5-Hour Blitz On Iran's Key Military Sites | WATCH

US Central Command announced the completion of coordinated strikes targeting Iranian military assets along the southern coast, including key sites in Bushehr and Bandar Abbas.

US Central Command on Tuesday declared that American forces had wrapped up another series of coordinated strikes against Iranian military infrastructure. According to the military command, the five-hour operation targeted key installations at Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa and Bandar Abbas, all positioned along Iran’s southern coast.

Sharing a video of the operation, CENTCOM stated that precision-guided munitions were deployed to neutralise Iranian coastal defence systems, missile launch infrastructure, drone positions and naval capabilities.

The stated objective of the American mission was to systematically degrade Tehran’s capacity to threaten commercial shipping lanes navigating the Strait of Hormuz, which stands as one of the world’s most critical maritime trade corridors.

Moments after the military announced the new strikes, US President Donald Trump called it “another major attack.” While Iran acknowledged the strikes, it provided no immediate casualty or damage assessments.

“We’re hitting them very hard. And it’ll continue, and we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “We’re knocking out all of their offensive capability and we’re controlling the straits. We’re putting the blockade back.”

Trump also provided new details on his administration doing an about-face and suggesting it will charge tolls for ships going through the strait, after previously suggesting that it wouldn’t.

“We’re protecting a very rich portion of the world,” he said. “We’re spending money. And so, what we’ve done is, we are going to be reimbursed for protection.”

The US military said it will resume its blockade of Iranian ports at midnight local Wednesday in Dubai.
