As hostilities continue to rise in West Asia, the United States Central Command said on Sunday (local time) that it carried out a fresh wave of strikes against Iran.
President Trump said that Iran had been hit 'very badly' in the wake of the American strikes and that it does not control the strait.
Sharing the details in a post on X, CENTCOM said that the strikes were aimed at targeting
Tehran's military capabilities which it claimed were used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
It said, "CENTCOM began conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the ninth consecutive night. The strikes will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz."
