Open-sources have reported that U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed the thirteenth consecutive evening of strikes against Iran at 01:00 UTC on 24 July 2026. CENTCOM targeted Iranian military command centres, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime capabilities to further diminish the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. They state that the "international waterway remains open for transit despite recent attacks from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and commercial vessels continue to freely navigate the strait with U.S. military support". In response, the Iranian army announced that it had launched drone attacks targeting U.S. military facilities at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain and Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan (exact times not specified). Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that "Arash" attack drones targeted fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses, hangars, and accommodation facilities used by U.S. forces at Sheikh Isa Air Base. Aircraft hangars, a maintenance facility, and accommodation facilities housing U.S. personnel at Al-Azraq Air Base were also targeted.
