US CENTCOM completes ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, targeting military infrastructure; Iran warns Strait of Hormuz unsafe for shipping.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the completion of its ninth consecutive night of military strikes against Iran, aimed at degrading Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Concurrently, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a warning that the Strait of Hormuz is not secure for oil, gas, and petrochemical shipments as long as U.S. military operations continue in the region. Explosions were reported across several Iranian cities, and the IRGC claimed two oil tankers attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz 'exploded and were brought to a halt'.
