U.S. Central Command said it completed its eighth consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting coastal surveillance, air defense, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage facilities. The operation also struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps elements responsible for the July 17 attack on U.S. troops in Jordan, according to CENTCOM.
U.S. Central Command said it completed its eighth consecutive night of strikes on Iran early Sunday, hitting coastal surveillance systems, air defenses, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage facilities. The operation also targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps elements identified as responsible for the July 17 ballistic missile and drone attack on American bases in Jordan that killed two service members, according to CENTCOM.
As The Zioneer reported at 01:27 Jerusalem, the eighth night of strikes was initially confirmed with the same list of targets. Later, at 07:10 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that CENTCOM said it struck the exact launch point of the missiles that killed the two U.S. soldiers in Jordan. The campaign began after the July 17 attack, with President Donald Trump authorizing retaliatory strikes. More than 50,000 U.S. troops remain deployed across the Middle East.
In a broader context, The Zioneer reported on June 26 that CENTCOM had previously targeted missile and drone sites near Sirik after a suicide drone strike on a commercial vessel. The current campaign has evolved from early strikes on air defense and missile sites to a broader set of targets including coastal surveillance and maritime capabilities.
The full extent of damage from the latest strikes has not been independently verified, and Iran has not yet issued an official response to the overnight operation.
