CENTCOM: Over the past three months Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway.
MIDDLE EAST — U.S. Central Command forces completed the 11th consecutive evening of strikes against Iranian military targets at 8:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
The strikes targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure. CENTCOM said the strikes further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM noted that over the past three months Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway. The command said the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessel transit.
