US Central Command said its forces completed additional precision strikes against Iranian military surveillance, communications, and air defense sites across Iran on June 10, using Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets. The command described the strikes as a response to Iran's 'unwarranted and continued aggression,' including threats to US forces and international shipping. The operation follows a sustained US air campaign under Operation Epic Fury, as The Zioneer reported.
The US military has confirmed a fresh wave of strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, deepening a campaign that began in earnest on June 9.
As The Zioneer reported at 21:46 UTC, CENTCOM announced the completion of additional self-defense strikes on June 10 targeting Iranian surveillance, communications, and air defense sites. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets fired precision munitions at targets across Iran that the command said posed a threat to US forces and international commercial shipping. The strikes were framed as a response to what Washington described as 'unwarranted and continued aggression' from Tehran.
The new strikes come after a series of escalating exchanges. On June 9, CENTCOM confirmed offensive strikes near the Strait of Hormuz following the downing of a US helicopter, with explosions reported in Qeshm, Sirik, and Bandar Abbas. Iran subsequently claimed retaliatory attacks on US regional bases, which The Zioneer reported as unverified. On June 10, a US official said Iran launched missiles and drones at American bases across the Middle East, nearly all of which were intercepted with no US casualties reported.
The current operation, conducted under the umbrella of Operation Epic Fury, represents the third major US kinetic action in as many days. CENTCOM stated that US forces remain 'vigilant, lethal, and ready to act.'
CENTCOM's version of events remains the primary source for the strikes; Iranian claims of damage to US installations from their retaliatory attacks remain unconfirmed by American officials.
