Washington: (RightNow) The US military has initiated a second wave of airstrikes against Iran. The US Central Command states these strikes target Iranian capabilities posing threats in the Strait of Hormuz.

The second wave targets Iranian military installations crucial to global trade routes in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Central Command, the aim is to ensure the safety of maritime routes.

Central Command further stated that the Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway for international trade. These strikes aim to secure maritime traffic to prevent disruptions to global commerce.
