US says over 80 targets hit in strikes on Iran, including dozens of IRGC small boats

The US military announces that it has completed a series of strikes in Iran that hit over 80 targets, describing the attacks as “an immediate response” to the latest Iranian strikes on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to US Central Command, the strikes targeted air defenses, command and control equipment, radar sites along the coast, anti-ship missiles and over 60 small boats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with the aim of “degrading Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor.”

“CENTCOM forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable when the agreement is not adhered to or obeyed,” it adds.
