CENTCOM said it hit about 140 military targets, including missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage, communications and coastal surveillance, holding Iranian forces 'accountable' for the attack on the GFS Galaxy, and that more than 300 targets had been struck over three nights that week. Iranian media reported explosions along the coast, including Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Sirik.

Why it matters

It began a run of nightly U.S. strikes that lasted more than a week, and Iran answered with missile and drone attacks on five Gulf states and Jordan.
