Skip next section US launches 12th consecutive night of strikes on Iran 07/23/2026 July 23, 2026 US launches 12th consecutive night of strikes on Iran The US military says it has begun a 12th consecutive night of strikes against Iran, as the conflict shows no sign of easing.
US Central Command (CENTCOM), said the strikes aimed to reduce further Iran’s ability to threaten ships in regional waters amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement came as US President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric toward Tehran, warning that the United States would respond directly to any new attacks on vessels in the strategic waterway.
Trump said the US would destroy one bridge or power plant for every Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The latest developments underline
a growing focus on civilian and economic infrastructure as both sides continue to expand their military campaign around one of the world's most important energy and shipping routes.
