Turin, 13 July (LaPresse) – US Central Command has announced that it has “completed a new wave of strikes against Iran, hitting dozens of targets in various locations with precision-guided munitions to weaken Iran’s ability to continue attacking international maritime traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz”. This is according to a statement from CentCom, whose forces “have struck military defence systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and naval vessels, using aerial drones and one-way maritime drones for the first time”. “The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” concludes the US Central Command. “Iran does not control it. US forces are deployed and ready to ensure that freedom of navigation remains guaranteed for merchant shipping despite Iran’s persistent and unjustified aggression and its arbitrary statements.”
