Video footage released on Wednesday by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) shows what the military says are strikes targeting "Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communications systems and air defense sites." The footage was published alongside a statement saying US forces had completed their latest wave of attacks.

After the US launched the attacks, Iran responded by claiming the "closure" of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, announced early on Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships, due to security threats in the waterway.
