US Centcom announces strikes on Greater Tunb Island

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

In an online post, the US military's Central Command said it 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.

Iran's military also released video of missiles described as Fateh 110, Kheibar Shekan and Zolfaghar being launched from unknown locations at night and in daylight.

State television said the missiles were launched during waves 3 to 7 of Operation Nasr 2.

The US reimposed a naval blockade on Iran and intensified its airstrike campaign Wednesday in retaliation for Tehran's attacks on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The American strikes hit an Iranian army barracks, killed at least seven troops and wounded more than 260 people across the country, Iranian officials said.

Days of back-and-forth strikes by the US and Iran across the Middle East and renewed threats to the waterway crucial to global energy supplies have shredded the interim deal to end the conflict and the region could tip back into all-out war.
