US strikes Iran for 10th consecutive night as Tehran strikes tanker in the Strait of Hormuz

The United States has carried out airstrikes against the Islamic Republic for the tenth consecutive night. Simultaneously, Iran attacked a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, which compelled the crew to abandon the vessel. Reports indicate that a shipyard in Hormozgan province was damaged during the US operations on July 19, 2026, as both nations contest control over the strategic waterway and engage in ongoing military escalations within the region.
