US Forces Hit Over 300 Iranian Targets in Six Days as Fighting Resumes After Ceasefire Collapses

CENTCOM completed a third round of strikes against Iran late Saturday, hitting roughly 140 targets with precision-guided munitions from land- and sea-based fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels, following prior strikes of 80 targets on July 7 and 90 on July 8 12. CENTCOM said the six-day campaign has now struck more than 300 targets, aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz 23. Targets across the strikes included Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage, communication networks, and coastal surveillance positions 12. The latest round followed an Iranian attack that Washington said struck the commercial cargo ship M/V GFS Galaxy with a missile, leaving one crew member missing, while Iran's IRGC said it fired only a "warning shot" after the vessel failed to alter course 2. Iran announced the Strait of Hormuz closed "until further notice" after Muscat talks failed to produce an agreement, while CENTCOM said commercial shipping continues to move through the strait and that its forces remain "positioned and prepared" to keep it open 12.
