US Central Command launched fifth straight day of airstrikes against Iran, targeting coastal defense systems and missile infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz.
Strikes hit Greater Tunb Island, focusing on cruise missile storage and launch sites, as well as coastal defense systems.
Iranian media reported explosions in Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, and Ahvaz following the US attacks.
The US restored a naval blockade of Iranian ports on Tuesday as part of efforts to degrade Iranian capabilities threatening commercial shipping.
