US Military strikes Iran's Greater Tunb Island, targets missile and defence sites
The United States military has carried out fresh airstrikes on Greater Tunb Island, targeting Iranian missile installations, air defence systems, and military infrastructure as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate. The operation was confirmed by the US Central Command (CENTCOM), which said the strikes were aimed at reducing Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
Greater Tunb Island occupies a critical position near one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes, through which a significant share of global oil exports passes. The latest strikes form part of a broader US military campaign that has expanded across several coastal locations in Iran following renewed attacks on commercial vessels and rising regional instability.
The military action comes amid growing concerns over the possibility of a wider conflict in the Middle East. Iran has vowed to respond to recent US operations, while the continued exchange of military strikes has raised fears of disruptions to global energy supplies, shipping routes, and international trade. Diplomatic efforts to ease tensions remain ongoing, but no breakthrough has been announced so far.
