The US military carried out two further waves of attacks on targets in Iran during the night, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced, while Iranian state media reported that locations in the central and northern parts of the country were hit.
CENTCOM stated that US forces targeted Iranian command centres, air defence positions, rocket systems and drones, as well as coastal surveillance facilities at multiple locations, including Bandar Abbas. The aim, they claim, is to further reduce Iran’s ability to threaten commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier in the night, US forces also conducted a 90-minute attack on Greater Tunb island. According to Iranian state media, Semnan airport, approximately 160 kilometres east of Tehran, was among the targets. The deputy governor of Markazi province stated that two missiles hit a location near the town of Khondaba, and explosions were also heard in Khorramabad in Lorestan province.
US attacks over the past week have primarily targeted Iran’s southern coastal regions, with some targets in the interior. As reported by N1, President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to destroy all Iranian power plants and bridges if Iranian representatives do not sit at the negotiating table, and when asked if the attacks would continue, he replied that they would until he says enough.
The ceasefire between the two countries, which had been in place since April and had been breached multiple times, was declared over by Trump last week.
