'Designed to further degrade Iran's military capabilities': US launches fresh strikes
The United States on Wednesday launched a fresh wave of strikes against Iran, further escalating the conflict between the two countries.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, said the strikes were intended to "further degrade" Iran's military capabilities.
"At 6 am ET today, US Central Command forces began launching a wave of strikes against Iran. The strikes are designed to further degrade military capabilities Iranian forces have used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
The latest strikes began at around 3:30 pm IST, hours after CENTCOM announced it had completed another round of attacks on Iranian targets.
"CENTCOM completed an additional round of strikes against Iran at 10 pm ET, hitting dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas. US fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels launched precision munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defence systems during the seven-hour wave to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews," the military command posted on X announcing the earlier strikes.
