US hits Iran’s buried missile sites near Hormuz with 5,000-pound bunker-busters
U.S. Central Command said it dropped multiple 5,000-pound deep-penetrator bombs on underground Iranian missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz to neutralize threats to international shipping. The weapons, identified as the GBU-72 Advanced 5K Penetrator, are designed to defeat hardened targets, and the strike comes as Iran’s blockade has disrupted global oil flows and kept prices elevated.
