U.S. Concludes 13th Night of Strikes on Iranian Military Targets
At 9 p.m. EDT yesterday, U.S. Central Command forces successfully completed the 13th consecutive night of strikes against Iran.
Centcom targeted Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites and maritime capabilities to further downgrade the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

More than 50,000 U.S. service members are currently operating across the Middle East.
