The U.S. reportedly struck four targets in Iran last night, according to a U.S. official cited by the New York Times. The strikes were described as hitting missile and drone sites along the Strait of Hormuz and on Qeshm Island.

What was hit

  • Missile and drone storage locations.
  • Coastal radar sites.
  • The operation reportedly lasted about 90 minutes.

Context

  • The strikes were said to be a response to Iran’s drone attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz the day before.
  • Other reporting also says U.S. Central Command described the targets broadly as missile and drone locations plus coastal radar sites.

Why the number is a little fuzzy

Some outlets summarize the targets by type rather than by count, while the clearest count in current reporting is the U.S. official’s figure of four locations. That is the best available answer from the reporting right now.
