US strikes target Iran’s air defenses to keep Strait of Hormuz open
TL;DR Summary
The US Central Command says it completed a Monday wave of strikes against Iran aimed at degrading Iran’s air defenses, radar sites, small-boat operations, and missile and drone capabilities, employing fighter jets, precise munitions, aerial drones, and for the first time, one-way sea attack drones. CENTCOM notes that similar Sunday strikes hit about 140 Iranian targets and emphasizes keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping, even as Iran allegedly fired on a commercial vessel and Iranian state media reported casualties (one killed, four injured) from those strikes.
