U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it has completed a third round of strikes this week against Iranian military targets in response to another attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to CENTCOM, approximately 140 military targets were struck during the latest operation, including missile and drone sites, naval assets, ammunition depots, communications networks, and coastal surveillance systems.

Across three nights of operations, the U.S. says it has now struck more than 300 Iranian military targets aimed at degrading Tehran's ability to threaten commercial shipping. CENTCOM also stated that, since early May, U.S. forces have helped facilitate the safe transit of more than 800 commercial vessels carrying approximately 400 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
 


🚨 BREAKING: UNDERGROUND IRANIAN MISSILE FACILITY REPORTEDLY HIT BY U.S. BUNKER-BUSTER BOMBS.

Reports from Iranian opposition sources claim an underground missile launch facility allegedly used in attacks on U.S. military bases in the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain has been struck by the U.S. Air Force using bunker-buster munitions.

Witnesses cited by the opposition report multiple secondary explosions and ground tremors following the strike, suggesting stored munitions may have detonated.

The claim has not yet been independently verified, and U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed this specific operation.

🎯 MY ASSESSMENT: If confirmed, this would represent a significant escalation in the campaign against Iran's missile infrastructure.

Underground launch complexes are among Tehran's most strategically valuable military assets, and successfully penetrating one would further degrade its ability to conduct regional missile attacks.

Iranian newspaper publishes list of 'revenge' targets​

An Iranian newspaper has published a “revenge list” of world leaders to be targeted for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader of Iran.

The rogues’ gallery in the conservative newspaper Hamshahri, which is published by authorities in Tehran and is known for its provocative tone, begins with images of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu with sniper-style targets on their foreheads.

A further 11 leaders, all depicted in orange prison uniforms, are featured below them – including Sir Keir Starmer, Marco Rubio, Giorgia Meloni and Emmanuel Macron.

The list was published as Mojtaba Khamenei, the late ayatollah’s son and the new supreme leader, made his first public comments since his father’s six-day funeral procession last week.

The Uproar about War Isn't About Iran; It's About Killing Trump and MAGA​

Barbara Boyd argues Trump is pursuing peace talks with Iran while warning the ceasefire is over and the U.S. will respond with crushing force if Iran interferes in the Strait of Hormuz. She says media claims that Trump is a warmonger are false, citing Trump’s regional “Board of Peace,” Iran’s long-term proxy war through Hamas and Hezbollah, and Iran’s uranium enrichment and nuclear ambitions. The script describes U.S. strikes—Operation Midnight Hammer (2025) and Operation Epic Fury (Feb. 2026)—and claims these actions weakened Iran, shifted Gulf states against Tehran, enabled changes in Gaza and Lebanon, and collapsed Iran’s economy, leaving Hormuz harassment as its main lever. Boyd frames the conflict as part of a broader struggle against a London-centered “petrodollar” energy order and Net Zero policies, highlighting Trump’s energy expansion, economic metrics, and new nuclear and fusion initiatives as the future economic strategy.
