Foreign Affairs: The US military announced on Tuesday night that it had completed the latest round of strikes on Iran, marking the 11th consecutive night of US strikes.
According to Reuters, published on July 22, 2026, in the attack, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that “CENTCOM forces targeted Iranian military operations centers, naval capabilities, aircraft depots, drone storage sites and military logistics infrastructure to further reduce Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”
According to the US military, the attack on Tuesday night lasted about 75 minutes. Washington claims Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz in the past three months. The Iran-Iran war began when the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, and Iran responded with its own attacks on Israel and Gulf countries where American troops are based. Joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran, as well as Israeli attacks on Lebanon during the war, have killed thousands and displaced millions. An Iranian health official said 50 civilians were killed and 500 others wounded in the recent US strikes on Iran. The number of US soldiers killed in the war has risen to 18 in recent days. On Monday, Trump vowed to retaliate against Iran after a bloody weekend for US troops. Last week, Trump also threatened to expand the scope of attacks in Iran to include power plants and bridges.
