The U.S. military has conducted airstrikes against Iran's missile and air defense capabilities, as well as small boats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), for two consecutive days.
Barak Rabid, a reporter for Axios, cited U.S. officials on July 12, stating that the military carried out multiple airstrikes targeting Iran's missile and air defense systems.
IRGC small boats stationed near the Hormuz Strait were also targeted. These vessels are known to be used for threatening civilian ships.
The strikes followed Iran's resumption of attacks on civilian vessels transiting the Hormuz Strait, prompting a military response from the U.S.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported that 10 to 11 'enemy projectiles' landed on Qeshm Island in the Hormuz Strait. Iranian authorities confirmed that military facilities were hit but reported no casualties.
Qeshm Island hosts Iranian military radar and coastal surveillance facilities.
