WASHINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said it ​has completed its ‌11th consecutive day of strikes on Iran.

U.S. Central Command said ‌the ​strikes targeted ⁠Iranian military ⁠operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and ​military logistics infrastructure.

The strikes, CENTCOM ⁠said, aimed ⁠to “further degrade” Iran’s ​ability to threaten ​commercial shipping in the ‌Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM said Iran has attacked more than ⁠30 commercial vessels transiting the strait.

“The unwarranted attacks ⁠have ‌endangered hundreds ⁠of innocent mariners ​and ‌undermined freedom of ​navigation,” ⁠it said.
