US CENTCOM begins 11th consecutive night of strikes on Iran
"The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the US Central Command said in a statement on X.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Wednesday, July 21, 2026, that it had initiated its 11th consecutive night of strikes on Iran. These attacks, which began at 7 p.m. ET, are intended to "continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz." Concurrently, loud explosions were reported in Iran's Bushehr County, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency. Bushehr is significant as it hosts Iran's sole commercial nuclear reactor, the Bushehr Power Plant, and a crucial naval base for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN).
