The US military concluded its latest round of strikes on Iran, marking the 11th consecutive night of attacks CENTCOM announced on its X/Twitter.

Strikes concluded at 8:15 p.m. EST.

CENTCOM targeted "Iranian military operation centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the post said. 

The post said Iran had attacked more than 30 commercial vessels passing through the strait, endangering hundreds of mariners and undermining the principle of freedom of navigation.

Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has continued despite Iranian attacks. Since the beginning of May, CENTCOM forces have supported the passage of roughly 900 commercial ships carrying about 450 million barrels of crude oil.

Explosions reported in Bushehr, home of nuclear power plant

Loud explosions were heard in parts of Iran's Bushehr County, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.

Bushehr is home to the Bushehr Power Plant, Iran's first and only commercial nuclear reactor. The region also houses a naval base that is critical for the functioning of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN).

Regime-affiliated Fars News Agency cited East Azerbaijan officials saying that a military site was struck near Tabriz in a US air attack.

Iranian state TV also said that air defenses were activated throughout the capital of Tehran.
