A shipyard damaged in a US strike is seen in Iran’s Hormozgan province, where Iranian authorities said the United States carried out attacks on 95 locations across 12 cities over the past 10 days, on July 19, 2026.
The U.S. completed a fresh round of strikes against Iran on Monday evening as Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis threatened to impose a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, potentially opening a new front in the Middle East conflict.
The latest cycle of tit-for-tat strikes comes amid reports that regional mediators have presented Washington and Tehran with a proposal for a 10-day ceasefire, a pitch that could put last month’s memorandum of understanding back on track.
The U.S. Central Command said overnight that it had carried out another round of attacks on Iran at 9 p.m. ET on Monday.
“U.S. forces struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz,” Centcom said in a statement.
It added that commercial vessel transits through the strategically vital waterway were continuing. Centcom forces, the statement said, had facilitated the transit of around 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil through the strait since early May.
Iran, meanwhile, attacked a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Tuesday, forcing its crew to abandon the vessel as it seeks to tighten its control over the waterway, one that typically handles around 20% of the world’s oil traffic.
Kuwait said Iran had attacked several of its power generation and water desalination plants on Monday, causing a fire at multiple facilities. The fires have since been extinguished, according to Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, with repair work ongoing. Kuwait is heavily dependent on desalination plants for drinking water.
Houthi militants in Yemen on Monday declared a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia effective immediately, a move that could substantially threaten Middle East oil supplies.
