The US military has completed its latest round of strikes on Iran, according to US Central Command. The strikes targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites, including air defense sites, radar systems, and communications sites.

These strikes were in retaliation for attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members.

The US military's actions come after reports of attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including two supertankers carrying Saudi oil that were struck, according to Semafor.
