The United States military says Iran’s ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz has been “degraded” following a series of strikes on key missile infrastructure along its coastline.
The operation targeted a hardened underground facility used to store anti-ship cruise missiles, mobile launchers, and supporting equipment, as Washington deployed some of its heaviest ‘bunker-busting’ munitions.
Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), said multiple 5,000-pound bombs were used to penetrate the site, destroying not only the weapons storage facility but also intelligence support sites and missile radar relays used to monitor shipping movements. “Iran’s ability to threaten freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz is degraded as a result, and we will not stop pursuing these targets,” he said.
About one-fifth of global oil supply passes through the stategic waterway. Brent crude has surged more than 50 percent in the past month, climbing above USD $105 a barrel amid fears of prolonged disruption.
Cooper said US forces have struck more than 8,000 military targets in the past three weeks, including 130 Iranian vessels, as part of a sustained campaign. The bombs used in the latest strikes, while powerful, are smaller than the 30,000-pound munitions deployed against Iranian nuclear facilities last year.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has criticised NATO allies as “cowards” for failing to secure the Strait, while signalling Washington may soon begin “winding down” its military operations as objectives are approached.

Yeah just like everything else has been “obliterated” but Iran continues to pummell them. Epstein regime propaganda.
Bull****!
The first casualty in war is the truth, and the MSM doesn’t even know how to report the same.
Key refineries are not direct war machines, but Iranian Ballistic Missiles are that string the coast are..
Iran is letting some vessels thru provided that they pay millions in tolls, in order to offset the cost of the war and rebuilding costs that other nations have allowed to happen due to the Zionist influences and Mossad blackmailing and compromises in their respective governments!
What’s next; submersible oil tankers? Have fun running the mine fields…!

Trump is royally ****ed now. Not only are new Epstein docs showing he is a sick pedo, there is no off ramp from this insane war unless it’s on Iran’s terms. All this talk of degrading and obliteration is pure propaganda to set a narrative where Trump can declare “victory”. But the “victory” is going to look increasingly stupid as Iran continues after the victory declaration to smash Israel and control Hormuz.
This is quick – very easy to co-operate among allies who avoid warmongering. Domestic gas supply conditions in Iran have returned to relative stability https://wanaen.com/iran-resumes-gas-exports-to-iraq/
US bunker buster bombs are completely ineffective against Iranian fortified concrete, look it up.
Yes yes you’re winning, all the while bemoaning the fact no one else will help you with your “overwhelming victory”…..
