@cgtneurope: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and US Central Command reported exchanging attacks on Sunday (July 12), with both sides releasing footage of the launches. Iran claimed to have closed the vital Strait of Hormuz, but the US maintained the waterway remains open. US forces targeted dozens of Iranian military locations, striking air defenses, coastal radars, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using aircraft, naval vessels, and attack drones. Iranian media reported missile attacks and explosions near military facilities around Sirik, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island, prompting Iran's foreign ministry to condemn the "aggressive" US weekend strikes. #IRAN #US #STRAITOFHORMUZ #MIDDLEEAST
