U.S. Completes Five-Hour Strike Wave Across Six Iranian Locations

U.S. Central Command said American forces completed a five-hour strike wave against Iranian military targets at 5:15 a.m. Israel time Tuesday. Precision munitions hit coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities in Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa and Bandar Abbas. The command said the operation was intended to further reduce Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping. More than 50,000 U.S. service members are deployed across the Middle East, and the command said American forces remain vigilant and ready.
