US says completed strikes on dozens of Iranian targets

he US military said on Monday it completed a new round of strikes in Iran aimed at preventing the Islamic republic from attacking shipping in the vital Strait of Hormuz.

“CENTCOM forces struck Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using US fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time,” the US military said in a post on X.

Iran condemned the latest US attacks, saying they had “rendered futile” months of diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict.

“The US regime has also caused the return of insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz and disruption of international commercial shipping by openly interfering in the process of Iran implementing the necessary arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz,” Iran’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
