WASHINGTON, The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that American forces carried out a new round of airstrikes inside Iran, describing the operation as “a powerful response” to attempted Iranian attacks targeting U.S. military personnel stationed in the Middle East.
In an official statement, CENTCOM said the strikes were launched in retaliation for what it described as Iranian attempts to attack American forces deployed across the region.
The military command did not immediately disclose the locations targeted, the scale of the operation, or the extent of the damage caused by the strikes.
The renewed military action follows heightened tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Washington would respond decisively to Iranian attacks. The latest strikes also mark a renewed escalation after a brief lull in hostilities that began when Trump announced a temporary halt to military operations over the weekend.
The fresh exchange of military action raises concerns about the possibility of wider regional escalation, as international observers continue to call for restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts.
