U.S. Pounds Iranian Military Sites in 11th Straight Night of Strikes; CENTCOM Releases Footage

U.S. Central Command has released operational footage detailing its latest kinetic engagement inside Iran, marking nearly two weeks of nightly strikes against the regime's strategic assets. According to material reviewed by The Zioneer Intelligence Desk, the 11th round of strikes focused on military command centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and logistics infrastructure. ### Degrading IRGC Capabilities The primary objective of this sustained campaign is the systematic degradation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its capacity to disrupt global trade. CENTCOM reported that Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz over the past three months. The latest 75-minute wave of strikes serves as both a deterrent and a direct response to recent Iranian-backed aggression, including the attacks on U.S. service members in Jordan. ### Maritime Security and Regional Stability Despite the escalation, U.S. officials emphasized that the strategic waterway remains open to commercial traffic. Since early May, American forces have secured the passage of approximately 900 merchant ships carrying 450 million barrels of crude oil. The ongoing operations reflect a transition in U.S. policy toward high-intensity kinetic action to restore deterrence in the Persian Gulf and protect vital energy corridors. No independent assessment of the damage from the latest strikes has yet been released, but CENTCOM maintains that the strikes are achieving their intended effect of crippling Tehran's maritime threat capabilities.
