The U.S. military said late on Monday it finished its latest round of strikes on Iran, saying it ‌hit Iranian military command centers, missile and drone launch sites, maritime capabilities and air defense systems.

The U.S. Central Command made the announcement in a post on social media X, stating: "U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed another round of strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET, July 20."

"U.S. forces struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz," it added.

"Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil," the statement said.

"American forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait," the statement noted.

The latest round of U.S. strikes on Iran lasted about five ⁠hours, according to the U.S. military, marking 10 consecutive nights of American strikes on Iran.
