U.S. Central Command said American forces began a new wave of strikes against Iran at 7 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, 2 a.m. in Israel, for a ninth consecutive night. CENTCOM said the operation will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners crossing the Strait of Hormuz. The command did not identify targets, weapons, locations, damage or casualties in its opening announcement. The new wave began as shipping traffic through the strategic waterway remained sharply reduced and U.S. forces continued enforcing a renewed naval blockade on Iranian ports.
