US Launches Strikes Against Iran After Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz and Attacks Ship
US Central Command released footage of strikes against Iranian military targets, following Saturday’s strikes against “approximately 140 Iranian military targets,” the military said.
The attacks on Saturday were launched by “land- and sea-based fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels,” CENTCOM announced. “Targets included Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations.”
CENCOM further notes that more than 300 targets were hit in total during the week.
Additional footage released by CENTCOM appears to show the various strikes executed throughout the week. The video’s description reads, “U.S. Central Command forces striking Iranian military targets after launching aircraft and cruise missiles in response to Iran’s attack on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz during the week of July 6-11, 2026.”
Three people, including one child, injured by falling shrapnel in Qatar as attacks also reported in UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan.

Air defence systems in Gulf states and Jordan have shot down Iranian missiles and drones after a night of US air strikes on Iran.
The United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain sent out warnings to residents on Saturday night and Sunday morning about incoming missiles and drones.
Kuwait said its military responded to attacks on its territory early on Sunday. In Qatar, the Ministry of Interior said three people, including one child, were injured by falling shrapnel after warnings of attacks were sent to residents.
Three missiles from Iran fell in Jordan without causing any casualties, authorities there said. Air defences in the UAE were also activated after reports of incoming missiles and drones from Iran.
Warning sirens blared out three times in Bahrain on Sunday morning to warn of incoming attacks.

That’s not working. That’s not the way to do it.
Both Israel and Lebanon are appalled. Trump sees Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as a “strong leader,” someone who can take on Hezbollah and deal better with it than Israel. That is not how either Beirut or Jerusalem sees things.
