US military says it has ended its latest strikes on Iran


WASHINGTON, July ⁠21 (Reuters) - The U.S. ⁠military said it has ‌completed its 11th consecutive day of strikes on Iran.

U.S. Central ​Command said the ⁠strikes targeted ⁠Iranian military operations centers, maritime ⁠capabilities, ‌aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, ⁠and military logistics infrastructure.

The strikes, ​CENTCOM ‌said, aimed to "further degrade" ⁠Iran's ​ability to threaten commercial shipping in the ⁠Strait of Hormuz.

"The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and ​undermined freedom ⁠of navigation," it said.
