US Military Says It Hit Dozens of Iran's IRGC Targets

The U.S. military said it struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard targets in Iran, including military command centers and drone facilities, in a two-hour operation launched after Tehran fired ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East. "The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries," CENTCOM said in a statement. Iran's state media reported that three people were killed in U.S. strikes on Qeshm Island. Oman has presented Iran with a plan backed by Gulf states to manage the Strait of Hormuz, including collecting voluntary fees for using it, a Gulf source and a Western diplomat told Reuters on Tuesday. But Iran has rejected the Omani proposal. Trump said he would hit Iran hard for firing missiles at U.S. forces, but that Washington was also still seeking a peace deal to end a conflict that has roiled global energy and finance markets with the choking of the Strait of Hormuz.
