WASHINGTON, 18th March, 2026 (WAM) -- The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced
late on Tuesday carrying out strikes at fortified missile sites on the Iranian coast near the
Strait of Hormuz.
"Hours ago, US forces successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran's coastline near the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said in a statement.
