The US Military on Tuesday released unclassified footage of the latest strikes against Iran.
CENTCOM said the US military hit more than 80 targets in the latest strikes.
The latest military strikes come in retaliation for the Iranians attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier Tuesday, Tehran struck three ships, including a Qatari natural gas vessel.
The US called Iran’s attacks on the commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz “a clear violation of the ceasefire.”
Full statement from CENTCOM:
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.
U.S. forces struck Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and near the strait to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor.
Iran recently attacked three commercial vessels transiting the strait including Marshall Islands-flagged M/T Al Rekayyat, Saudi Arabia-flagged M/T Wedyan, and Liberian-flagged M/T Cyprus
Prosperity.The unwarranted aggression by Iranian forces is a clear and dangerous violation of the ceasefire and undermines freedom of navigation.
CENTCOM forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable when the agreement is not adhered to or obeyed.
WATCH:
President Trump earlier revoked the Iran oil sanctions waiver after the Strait of Hormuz attacks.
