The US military said it had completed its latest wave of strikes against Iranian targets on Wednesday that “further degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on X that it “launched precision munitions against coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island during the 90-minute wave.”
In a related development earlier in the day, the Bahraini military announced that it had intercepted new Iranian attacks, after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted facilities used by the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain in retaliation for the US strikes against the Islamic Republic.
“The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force announces that Iran continues its systematic hostile approach through its criminal attacks that target civilians,” it said, adding, the military “succeeded in intercepting and destroying a number of the treacherous Iranian aerial attacks this morning”.
