US strikes Iranian targets for third consecuative night in a row on July 14th, 2026CENTCOM/X

The US launched its third consecutive night of military strikes against Iran on Monday, aiming to degrade Iranian naval, missile, and drone capabilities. Authorized by President Trump and executed by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

Iran conducted a series of retaliatory strikes and maritime attacks overnight, including a cruise missile attack targeting two United Arab Emirates oil tankers transiting Omani territorial waters in the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz.
