The United States has carried out a tenth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, but Tehran’s ability to retaliate remains intact. CENTCOM says the latest operation lasted nearly five hours and targeted Iranian command centres, maritime assets, missile and drone launch sites and air-defence systems. Washington says the campaign is intended to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and protect commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also reimposed its blockade on Iranian ports, redirecting seven commercial vessels and disabling another ship since July 14. Despite the sustained bombardment, Iran continues launching missiles and drones at American facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan while keeping shipping around Hormuz under pressure. The Pentagon’s dilemma is becoming increasingly clear: its target list is expanding and its attacks are intensifying, yet Tehran remains defiant, American bases remain vulnerable and the world’s most important energy corridor is still fiercely contested.
