The US military has carried out another wave of airstrikes on Iranian military targets, including facilities in Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port and a key naval base on the Strait of Hormuz. According to US Central Command, the operation targeted command centres, air defence systems, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance sites to weaken Iran's military capacity. The strikes mark the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran. Iranian authorities have condemned the attacks, while regional tensions continue to rise amid concerns over maritime security and the potential impact on global energy supplies.
