US Conducts 12th Night of Strikes on Iran; Trump Warns of Major Retaliation

The United States military has carried out a new series of airstrikes against military targets in Iran for the 12th night in a row, according to the U.S. Central Command (Centcom). These strikes, detailed in a tweet on the X platform, targeted Iranian military sites including naval assets, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense systems.

President Donald Trump issued a stern warning, stating that the Houthi group in Yemen and Iran would face "major military reprisals" if the Houthis persist in attacking ships in the Red Sea. Trump expressed his "great disappointment" with the Houthis, accusing them of attacking two Saudi ships. He emphasized that the U.S. would hold Iran responsible should these attacks continue.

Iran and the Houthis will be held responsible if these attacks continue.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate narrowly rejected a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's war powers in the conflict with Iran. The vote, 49-47, followed a similar measure's passage in the House of Representatives, which had Republican support. This marks the twelfth Senate vote this year concerning the president's authority to wage war against Iran, a move Trump has previously criticized.

The Centcom stated that the operation aims to degrade Iran's capability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels in regional waters. The command also reported redirecting nine commercial vessels and disabling them to prevent their entry or exit from Iranian ports.
