New Delhi, July 12 -- The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Saturday (local time) announced that it completed the third round of airstrikes in Iran after hitting some 140 targets. The strikes were announced earlier today after Tehran shut the Strait of Hormuz once again "until further notice", with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacking another vessel in Hormuz for using the "unauthorised route."

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
