Milan, 22 July (LaPresse) – The US Central Command (Centcom) has announced that it has successfully carried out its eleventh consecutive night of strikes against Iran. “Centcom forces targeted Iranian military operational centres, naval assets, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities and military logistics infrastructure, with the aim of further weakening Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” a statement read. “Over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 merchant ships transiting this international waterway, which is vital for regional and global trade,” Centcom added, “these unjustified attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent seafarers and undermined freedom of navigation”. “Despite Iranian aggression, the Strait of Hormuz remains open to merchant shipping,” the statement concludes, “since the beginning of May, Centcom forces have helped facilitate the passage of around 900 merchant ships and 450 million barrels of crude oil.”
