US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Wednesday it struck Greater Tunb Island, targeting Iranian defense and missile sites.

In an online post, CENTCOM said it "completed a morning round of strikes against Iran at 7:30 a.m. ET on July 15."

"CENTCOM launched precision munitions against coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island during the 90-minute wave. The strikes further degraded Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," it added.
