US Launches New Strikes in Iran Targeting Military Site that Posed Threat to Troops, Commercial Shipping
The US military carried out new strikes in Iran Wednesday, targeting a military site that threatened American troops and commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today, US Central Command Forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz,” a US official said in a statement.
“US forces also struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone,” the official added.
