The US military says it conducted self-defense strikes inside Iran, including at missile launch sites, signaling a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries.

U.S. Central Command said it dropped multiple 5,000-pound deep-penetrator bombs on underground Iranian missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz to neutralize threats to international shipping. The weapons, identified as the GBU-72 Advanced 5K Penetrator, are designed to defeat hardened targets, and the strike comes as Iran’s blockade has disrupted global oil flows and kept prices elevated.

Satellite images reveal damage to Iran's missile sites, airport, and energy facilities following recent strikes by Israel, highlighting ongoing tensions and military activity in the region.
