US Expands Strikes Into Northern Iran and Disables Ship Trying to Run Blockade

The U.S. military expanded air strikes into northern Iran, striking targets further north than earlier waves, while also firing on and disabling a ship accused of trying to break a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said the actions were meant to hold Iran accountable and responded to Tehran’s retaliation, with the broader campaign centered on securing shipping lanes and limiting Iranian attack capabilities.

US Expands Strikes Into Northern Iran and Disables Ship Trying to Run Blockade

The U.S. expanded air strikes into northern Iran, targeting further-north locations as part of a continued effort to enforce pressure around the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said the latest wave was completed Wednesday night, with earlier strikes as well. The operation included action against Greater Tunb Island, a strategic point in the strait. The U.S. also fired on a ship accused of attempting to violate the naval blockade after warnings were ignored, disabling it. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks against Bahrain and Kuwait, according to reports.
