The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it has concluded a strike wave against Iranian military targets, including command centers, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime containers, according to a CENTCOM statement. The command said the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial shipping and that over 50,000 U.S. service members remain deployed across the Middle East.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed early Friday that it had completed a strike wave against Iranian military infrastructure, targeting command centers, drone storage, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime containers. The operation aimed to reduce the threat to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM said, adding that the international waterway remains open and that over 50,000 U.S. service members are deployed across the Middle East.
The announcement comes amid a sustained campaign of U.S. strikes against Iran's naval and missile capabilities in the region. As The Zioneer has reported, previous CENTCOM operations have included multi-hour waves targeting coastal defense systems, cruise missile depots, and air defense installations in several Iranian coastal cities, as well as operations enabling the safe passage of hundreds of merchant ships carrying millions of barrels of oil.
No immediate reaction from Tehran has been reported. The Zioneer will continue to monitor developments.
