U.S. Completes Seventh Consecutive Night of Attacks Against Iran

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that American forces concluded a seventh straight night of strikes against Iran. The operation, which ended Friday evening, was part of an ongoing campaign aimed at Iranian military assets.

According to CENTCOM, the targets included Iranian surveillance installations, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage sites, and maritime capabilities. The U.S. military employed a range of assets for these strikes, including fighter jets, drones, and warships.

CENTCOM reiterated its stance, stating that Iran is held responsible for the conflict's escalation. The command also confirmed that, by order of the U.S. president, a naval blockade remains in effect on Iranian ports. Furthermore, CENTCOM indicated that over 50,000 U.S. service members are deployed in the Middle East, on alert and prepared for potential threats.

The U.S. had previously reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. This action followed Iran's warning about potentially closing the vital waterway in response to earlier U.S. bombardments. Iran has retaliated against U.S. strikes with missile and drone launches targeting American interests in various Middle Eastern countries.
