US Army: We completed the 13th night of strikes against Iran

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced today that its forces completed their thirteenth consecutive night of strikes against Iran.

CENTCOM stated that the strikes targeted Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and naval capabilities, with the aim of reducing the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The command confirmed that the international waterway remains open to navigation, despite recent attacks launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, noting that commercial ships continue to transit the strait freely with U.S. military support.

It added that more than 50,000 U.S. soldiers are currently operating across the Middle East region.
