U.S. Central Command said it conducted precision strikes against Iranian military surveillance, air defense, missile and drone storage sites, as well as IRGC units responsible for the July 17 attack on U.S. bases in Jordan that killed two American soldiers. The strikes were ordered by President Donald Trump.
Just after midnight Jerusalem time, U.S. Central Command announced the eighth consecutive night of precision strikes on Iran, expanding the campaign to directly target IRGC units responsible for the July 17 attack on U.S. bases in Jordan. The strikes — ordered by President Donald Trump — hit military surveillance, air defense, naval, and missile and drone storage sites, as well as specific IRGC units. The announcement comes three days after CENTCOM said it had concluded its strike campaign on the night of July 17, a statement that now appears to have been premature.
