Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, Dubai, 23rd July, 2026: The US military said on Wednesday that it had carried out a 12th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, as the conflict continued to escalate with both sides increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the strikes were intended to "further degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters," as the United States seeks to restore the safe passage of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier on Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned that the US would retaliate by destroying an Iranian bridge or power plant each time Iran attacked a commercial vessel transiting the strategic waterway.
