    CENTCOM denies Iranian claims of strikes on wheat storage facility

    The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has clarified that, in contrast to Iranian state media claims, US forces did not strike a civilian wheat storage facility in Hoveyzeh on July 14.

    According to CENTCOM, forces hit Iranian military targets in Bandar Abbas, Khormuj, Ahvaz, Qeshm, Tunb, Bushehr, and Kuh-e Stak to degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran has targeted innocent civilians transiting the Strait and in neighboring Gulf countries.
