The US military launched a new wave of strikes against Iran, targeting military command centres, missile and drone facilities, and maritime capabilities to weaken Iran’s ability to attack US forces and ships in the Middle East, the US Central Command said.
In a statement on X, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the US forces carried out strikes against Iran in response to Tuesday’s attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.
The US struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centres, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defence sites, and maritime capabilities, “to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighbouring Gulf countries.”
