U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) released a statement early Thursday confirming that it has completed the wave of strikes against Iran, according to the command's own announcement. The brief statement, 'We have completed the wave of strikes against Iran,' marks a direct official confirmation from the military command. This comes just minutes after CENTCOM published a detailed target list on X at 04:31 Jerusalem, which included command-and-control centers, air defense systems, and naval surveillance facilities in locations including the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, as The Zioneer reported.
On Wednesday, the reported a rapid sequence of developments in the same strike wave. At 05:28 Jerusalem, initial unverified reports of a new wave of US airstrikes emerged (version 5), followed shortly by official confirmation from the US military (version 6). CENTCOM then confirmed the resumption of daylight strikes as part of an increasing tempo (version 7). Within the same hour, the US military announced the completion of a 90-minute strike wave (version 8), and subsequently reported that the strikes had targeted air defense systems and cruise missile depots (version 9). The progression reflected a shift from unconfirmed reports to multiple official statements, with the latest update now providing CENTCOM's own explicit confirmation of the wave's completion.
The broader US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure began on June 10, with CENTCOM completing precision strikes across Iranian sites, as The Zioneer reported on June 11. The command later released footage of the strikes on July 13. The current wave, which CENTCOM now says is complete, involved strikes across multiple Iranian sites.
No further details on the extent of damage or any follow-up operations have been released. It remains unclear whether this marks the end of the campaign or the conclusion of a specific phase.
