WASHINGTON – Web Desk: The United States military has announced the completion of its retaliatory military action against Iran, with strikes carried out following an incident involving a US attack helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).
In a statement on X, CENTCOM said US forces targeted multiple military sites in Iran as part of a “defensive operation.” US Air Force and Navy fighter aircraft struck Iranian air defense systems, ground control stations, and surveillance radar centers located near the Strait of Hormuz using precision weapons. The operation aimed to ensure the protection of US forces and interests in the region.
US officials did not release details of potential damage or casualties resulting from the strikes, and no immediate official response from Iranian authorities was available. The operation comes amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, with both sides recently claiming attacks on each other’s military installations. Global observers warn that increasing military activity near the Strait of Hormuz could impact global energy markets and regional peace and stability.
