U.S. Central Command said it launched another wave of strikes on Iran at 15:00 EDT (22:00 Jerusalem), the seventh consecutive night of operations. The strikes aim to continue degrading Iran's military capabilities, per the directive of the U.S. president.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Friday evening that it launched another wave of strikes against Iran at 15:00 EDT (22:00 Jerusalem time), marking the seventh consecutive night of operations. The strikes are aimed at continuing to degrade Iran's military capabilities, in accordance with a directive from the U.S. president, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
The announcement follows a series of strikes over the past week. As The Zioneer reported at 22:55, CENTCOM launched the seventh consecutive night of strikes. Prior reports documented six consecutive nights of operations targeting Iranian coastal radar, air defense systems, logistics infrastructure, and naval capabilities, with the U.S. employing fighter jets, drones, and warships.
The campaign has been ongoing since at least June 10, with CENTCOM completing precision strikes across Iran and the U.S. deploying over 50,000 troops to the region, according to The Zioneer's previous reporting. The latest wave comes amid heightened tensions, with Iran reportedly putting over one million troops on alert in response to the sustained U.S. campaign.
The full extent of the latest strikes and any damage assessment have not yet been released by CENTCOM.
