U.S. Central Command forces completed strikes against Iran on July 23, 2026, marking the 12th consecutive night of operations. The strikes targeted Iranian military sites, including maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets. These actions aim to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels. This month, American forces have targeted dozens of Iranian land-based military sites while maintaining a maritime blockade. As of July 23, Centcom has redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one to restrict maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports. Over 50,000 U.S. service members remain deployed in the Middle East, maintaining vigilance and readiness.
