The US military said Sunday it completed its latest round of airstrikes against Iran, hitting roughly 140 targets.
Central Command said the strikes hit missile and drone launch sites and ammunition depots. The command said the attacks were meant to degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that handles about a fifth of global crude shipments.
