US Military Hits 80 Iran Targets After Strait of Hormuz Attacks
The U.S. military released unclassified footage Tuesday showing its latest strikes against Iran after a new round of attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.According to U.S. Central Command, American forces hit more than 80 targets in the operation. CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out with precision munitions and were meant as an immediate response to Iranian attacks on vessels moving through one of the world’s most important shipping lanes.
The Strait of Hormuz is a major route for global energy shipments. When Iran targets ships there, it is not just a regional problem. It threatens trade, fuel markets, allies, and international shipping crews trying to do their jobs.
Earlier Tuesday, Tehran reportedly struck three ships, including a Qatari natural gas vessel. CENTCOM identified the targeted commercial vessels as the Marshall Islands-flagged M/T Al Rekayyat, the Saudi Arabia-flagged M/T Wedyan, and the Liberian-flagged M/T Cyprus Prosperity.
The U.S. described Iran’s actions as “a clear violation of the ceasefire.”
In its statement, CENTCOM said, “U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed a new round of offensive strikes against Iran, July 7, hitting over 80 targets with precision munitions as an immediate response to Iran’s latest attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”

I thought Iran's military was destroyed. How are they attacking anyone if everything has been destroyed?
Not destroyed...Officials report that approximately 90% of Iran's regular navy fleet has been sunk. Recent U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) operations in July 2026 also destroyed over 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) small boats and hit 80 to 90 military targets in a single week.Defense Infrastructure: Up to 80% of Iran's air defense systems, 90% of weapons factories, and 80% of its nuclear industrial base have reportedly been hit.Remaining Capabilities: Despite the massive destruction, U.S. intelligence agencies indicate Iran still retains operational access to key missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz and maintains thousands of small boats and residual cruise missile threats.
March 14: "The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both militarily, economically, and in every other way."
During a March 16 Kennedy Center board meeting: Iran’s military has been "literally obliterated. The air force is gone. The navy is gone."
