Latest US strikes on Iran roughly twice the size of previous bombardment, source tells 'Post'
Several locations in southern Iran were targeted by US forces, with explosions heard in the cities of Bushehr, Abu Musa, Kish Island, Ahwaz, and Qeshm Island, Iranian state media Press TV reported.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted extensive retaliatory strikes against Iran on Thursday morning, July 30, 2026, targeting multiple locations in southern Iran, including Bushehr, Abu Musa, Kish Island, Ahwaz, and Qeshm Island. A US official stated the bombardment was "about twice the size of the previous" strikes. These actions were in response to "yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on US forces" in the Middle East, which involved Iran launching multiple ballistic missiles at US bases, all of which were intercepted. CENTCOM reported that its forces "struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities."
