In a ferocious continuation of ground operations, US Marines and Army infantry units have launched a devastating ᴀssault on a key Iranian pier complex in the Strait of Hormuz, completely overrunning and eliminating a large concentration of Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops.
Intense fighting erupted as American forces, supported by AH-64 Apache helicopters and A-10 Warthogs providing devastating close air support, stormed the heavily defended pier. US troops moved with overwhelming firepower, clearing Iranian defensive positions in brutal close-quarters combat. The Iranian garrison was largely wiped out, with survivors fleeing in disarray as the pier fell under full American control.

This decisive victory further cements US dominance over the Strait of Hormuz. The pier, which Iran had desperately tried to use for resupply and small boat attacks, is now in ruins and firmly in American hands. With over 5,000 US troops already established along the coastline, this latest success expands the coalition’s foothold and тιԍнтens the stranglehold on Iran’s remaining coastal defenses.
The Iranian regime is in freefall. Since the conflict began on February 28, Iran has lost:
Bandar Abbas port and Kark Island military infrastructure
The Hajiabad missile city and secret underground mega-fortress
Mountain tank and missile production facilities
Sea mines factories
Nearly all operational air bases
Despite desperate attempts to fight back, including banned cluster munitions on Tel Aviv and failed mᴀss drone attacks, Iranian forces continue to crumble when faced with superior American training, firepower, and technology.

US Central Command described the operation as “highly successful,” noting that American casualties were minimal while Iranian losses were severe. The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world’s oil flows — is now more secure than ever under US protection.
The Iranian regime that started this war is watching its last defensive positions collapse one by one. America’s message remains clear: aggression will be met with overwhelming and relentless force until the threat is completely eliminated.
This intense battle is still developing rapidly. Further updates will follow as US forces consolidate control of the pier and continue offensive operations across the region.
