Centcom says the targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats reportedly attempting to lay naval mines. The command adds US forces will continue to defend their personnel while showing “restraint” during the ongoing ceasefire. Earlier, explosions were reported in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.
