  • The U.S. conducted strikes inside Iran, described as a response to recent Iranian attempts to attack U.S. forces.
  • Explosions were reportedly heard in Bandar Abbas, Abadan, and on Qeshm Island.
  • This follows a period of 13 consecutive nights of U.S. strikes against Iran prior to the past weekend.

The United States carried out strikes targeting locations within Iran overnight, marking the first such action in several days, according to military command Centcom. Reports indicate that explosions were heard in the cities of Bandar Abbas and Abadan, as well as on Qeshm Island.

Centcom stated that these attacks served as a "powerful response" to Iranian attempts to target U.S. forces the previous day. Prior to the past weekend, U.S. forces had conducted nightly strikes against Iran for 13 consecutive nights.

The attacks are a powerful response to yesterday's attempts by Iran to attack American forces.
