# The US military has launched a series of strikes against Iran, hitting over 80 targets, including more than 60 small boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes hit Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas and Sirik. The US Central Command says this attack was to impose high costs on Iran for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent individuals in the Strait. Tehran says it has targeted 85 American military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, in response to what it calls a ceasefire violation.
