The U.S. military said early Friday that fighter jets, drones, and warships launched precision munitions that struck dozens of Iranian military targets, including coastal radar and surveillance sites, air defense systems, logistics infrastructure, and naval capabilities. The announcement comes just hours after CENTCOM confirmed the completion of a sixth consecutive night of strikes.
The U.S. military announced early Friday that it had completed another wave of precision strikes against Iran, striking dozens of military targets. According to the announcement, fighter jets, drones, and warships launched precision munitions that hit coastal radar and surveillance sites, air defense systems, military logistics infrastructure, and naval capabilities.
The wave comes as part of an ongoing U.S. campaign that has now entered its seventh consecutive night. Earlier Friday, at 04:53 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported that CENTCOM had completed the sixth consecutive night of strikes, hitting dozens of targets including coastal surveillance sites, air defense systems, logistics infrastructure, and naval capabilities. That wave concluded at 04:40 Jerusalem time, according to CENTCOM.
The current wave, announced at 05:38 Jerusalem time, appears to be a continuation of the same operation, with the U.S. military maintaining a tempo of near-nightly strikes. Over 50,000 U.S. troops remain deployed across the Middle East, as previously reported by CENTCOM.
The precise number of targets in this latest wave has not been specified, but the U.S. military described it as 'dozens.' The Iranian military has not yet responded to the latest strikes.
