The US military has completed another round of strikes against Iranian military targets, according to US Central Command, marking roughly ten consecutive nights of operations against Iranian infrastructure since the conflict began.
The strikes are part of a sustained campaign that started February 28, 2026, when US and Israeli forces launched coordinated airstrikes against Iran under what has been called Operation Epic Fury. President Trump authorized the military action following intelligence assessments pointing to Iranian threats against regional stability, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz.
What the US is hitting and why it matters
CENTCOM has focused its strikes on command and control centers, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most consequential maritime chokepoints, through which a significant share of global oil supply passes. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks targeting commercial vessels in the region, raising serious concerns among shipping operators and insurers about the safety of transit through the area.
