[This is the storyline from the Air Force side, as a complimentary addition to the original Operation Hormuz for F/A-18C only]

On Day 12, ground operations saw substantial progress, particularly around Bandar Abbas City. The US-led ground forces secured Mountain Genu, resulting in the first siege of Bandar Abbas City since the conflict began. This accomplishment effectively severed the city's northern logistics corridor, further tightening the grip on Bandar Abbas. The ground troops continued to reinforce positions, consolidating the siege. The USMC 1st Division’s 1st and 2nd Regiments entrenched themselves in the city’s western industrial complex, fortifying it into a robust stronghold and base of operations. On the eastern flank, the 4th Regiment took control of Bandar Abbas Airport, while the 5th Regiment secured the strategic Dasht-e Eman junction, linking Qadehar Town and the North Corridor. Meanwhile, the 6th Regiment held the high ground atop Mountain Genu, with reinforcements regrouping in the rural areas between the mountain and the city. Despite the swift collapse of Iranian defenses in other towns, Bandar Abbas remains resilient, suggesting the potential for intense urban combat. Our intelligence reports indicate that the Iranian Army’s 2nd Corps has mobilized a significant counteroffensive, scheduled for Day 13. Overnight, eight battle tank brigades were dispatched via railway to the frontline. At dawn, our scouts atop Mountain Genu observed tank columns advancing through the Fin area, approximately 35 kilometers northwest of their position. The Navy has dispatched two F/A-18C flights, callsign Hawks, to intercept the first wave of the enemy’s steel torrent, as logistical issues have hindered some weapon supplies at Al Minhad AFB. Nevertheless, the Hornets were unable to destroy the vast numbers of enemy battle tanks moving toward our positions. Six pre-planned CAS flights from the Air Force—consisting of four F-16Cs and two A-10Cs fully loaded with anti-tank weapons—are scheduled to take off shortly to repel the second wave, followed by six additional A-10C flights from Al Minhad AFB to get airborne and hunt for the remaining tanks afterward. Meanwhile, the Air Force has also scheduled an OCA strike package, consisting of two F-15E flights, to destroy the enemy’s key logistics facilities in the North Corridor, thereby cutting weapon supplies to the enemy's frontline. The imminent battle in Bandar Abbas and its environs marks a critical juncture in the war.
