Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), stated that US strikes led to a "reduction" in the ability of Iran and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to attack vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
As we work side-by-side, we also remain focused on eliminating Iran's long-standing threat to free trade throughout the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Cooper, US forces struck an underground facility of the Iranian army. This facility housed radar systems that allowed monitoring of shipping.
The strike destroyed intelligence outposts and missile radars used to monitor ship movements... As a result, Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz has been weakened.
