US Strikes Iran for 10th Night as Tankers Burn in Hormuz and Israel Warns on Centrifuges (Jul 21, 0603 UTC, 0903 Israel) (Morning Edition)
The US launched a 10th consecutive night of strikes on Iran, while the IRGC claimed two tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz and attacked US air defense systems in Bahrain. Israeli intelligence assessed that Iran moved thousands of centrifuges to an underground facility at Pickaxe Mountain. In southern Lebanon, Israel began a pilot withdrawal under a US-brokered safe-zone plan, and Hamas elected Khalil al-Hayya as its new political bureau chief, signaling continued alignment with Iran.
