US Conducts Consecutive Strikes on Iranian Military Targets Near Strait of Hormuz

Analysed 22 Jul 2026·8 sources analysed·Tehran, Iran·Politics
US Conducts Consecutive Strikes on Iranian Military Targets Near Strait of HormuzPreviousNext

The United States has conducted 10 to 11 consecutive nights of military strikes targeting Iranian military sites, including command centers, missile and drone launch sites, air defense systems, and maritime capabilities. These operations aim to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital international waterway. Despite tensions, commercial vessel transits continue, with US forces facilitating the safe passage of nearly 900 ships since May. President Trump warned of further strikes if Iran persists in aggression.
