U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces began launching additional self-defense strikes against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction. CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out in response to what it described as Iran’s continued aggression and threats to U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

CENTCOM said U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets fired precision munitions on targets it described as including Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air-defense sites. The command did not provide further public detail about the specific targets in its initial statement, and it said commercial vessel transits through the region continued while U.S. forces remained on guard.
