US 80 Iranian targets, including 60 boats: IRGC hits 85 US targets in Kuwait and Bahrain

Iran says it targeted 85 US military sites in Bahrain, Kuwait

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said early Wednesday that it targeted 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to Tuesday’s U.S. military strikes.

Iranian state media reported the strikes came after Tehran accused the United States of violating the countries’ ceasefire agreement.

The reported attacks came after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Tuesday that U.S. forces struck more than 80 targets in Iran in response to Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM said U.S. forces targeted Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and around the Strait of Hormuz.

Millions of barrels of Iranian oil left in limbo after US revokes waiver

Millions of barrels of Iranian oil were left without a clear destination after the United States revoked a 60-day waiver allowing Tehran to sell crude, according to a Bloomberg report published Wednesday.

Bloomberg reported that about 63 million barrels of Iranian oil are currently aboard tankers either in transit or idling.

The report said the oil is being held on ships across the Persian Gulf and Asian waters, with many cargoes lacking a clear destination.

The development comes after Fox News Digital reported Tuesday that the United States was clawing back oil sanctions waivers granted to Iran as part of a framework agreement that launched a two-month negotiating period following Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM calls Iran operation ‘offensive’ in shift from previous strikes

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) described Tuesday’s military operation in Iran as “offensive,” marking a notable shift from the language it has used to characterize previous U.S. strikes in the region.

During recent operations, CENTCOM typically referred to military action as “self-defense strikes” or simply “strikes,” according to Fox News’ Liz Friden.

The scale of the operation also marked a significant escalation.

CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck more than 80 targets in Iran in response to Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Friden, the operation was roughly eight times larger than the previous U.S. strikes carried out after Iran attacked commercial shipping on June 27.

“U.S. forces struck Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and near the strait to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

Iran warns of ‘crushing response’ after major US strikes

Iran’s top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, vowed to deliver a “crushing response” after U.S. forces launched a series of strikes in the country Tuesday.

Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters described the U.S. strikes as a “blatant act of aggression” and warned that Tehran would not allow the United States to interfere with its handling of the Strait of Hormuz.

The remarks came after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces struck more than 80 targets in Iran on Tuesday in response to Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

A U.S. official told Fox News the strikes were a “direct result” of what the official described as “acts of international terrorism” against “innocent ships” traveling through the strategic waterway.

Reuters contributed to this report.
