US Central Command confirmed that American forces have begun a tenth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets, according to an official statement. The announcement follows weeks of sustained US operations against Iran's military infrastructure.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Monday evening that American forces have begun a tenth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets, marking the longest sustained US air campaign against Iran in decades. The official confirmation follows reports earlier tonight, as The Zioneer reported, that a new wave of strikes had commenced. According to prior CENTCOM statements covered by The Zioneer throughout the week, the operations have targeted Iranian naval and coastal radar, air defenses, and military infrastructure along Iran's southern coast and beyond. The campaign, which began on July 13, has expanded in geographic scope, with more recent statements omitting the earlier limitation to the Strait of Hormuz. The tenth wave comes as the US continues to degrade Iranian military capabilities following the attack on American soldiers in Jordan. The official statement did not specify the duration or specific targets of the latest wave, which remains unconfirmed.
