Washington DC [US], July 15: The United States on Tuesday carried out an additional round of strikes against Iranian targets, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
The operation came shortly before the forces began the resumption of the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. blockade on ships entering or leaving Iranian ports were scheduled to resume at 4 p.m. U. S. Eastern Time (2000 GMT), according to the U.S. Central Command.
