US Central Command Claims Seventh Night of Airstrikes Against Iran

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has claimed that airstrikes were carried out against Iran for the seventh consecutive night, targeting energy infrastructure and other military sites on Saturday.

A statement issued by CENTCOM mentioned that the latest strikes targeted military infrastructure, surveillance sites, underground weapons storage facilities, and maritime capabilities. The operation reportedly involved fighter jets, drones, warships, and other military assets.

The command stated that more than 50,000 US military personnel are deployed in the Middle East and are preparing for lethal attacks.

CENTCOM also denied claims by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stating that explosions occurred after two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz were hit by mines allegedly placed by Iran.

Earlier, announcing the latest wave of overnight strikes, CENTCOM had stated that the objective of the operation was to degrade Iran's military capabilities.
