U.S. Strikes Iran for Second Consecutive Day: "Self-Defense Strikes Targeting Multiple Sites Initiated"

The U.S. military announced that it began additional strikes against Iran starting at 6:15 a.m. today, Korea Standard Time (KST), on June 11.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, stated on X (formerly Twitter) that it "initiated additional self-defense strikes against multiple targets within Iran at 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time today."

However, the command did not disclose the specific facilities or regions that were targeted.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had previously warned earlier today that Iran's "core facilities" would be subject to attack.

CENTCOM explained that "these strikes are a response to Iran's unjustified and persistent provocations."

The U.S. launched retaliatory strikes on June 9 after a U.S. Army Apache helicopter was shot down by an Iranian drone on June 8, amid a stalemate in discussions to end the conflict with Iran.

President Trump met with reporters today and expressed his intent for further offensive action, stating, "We will strike Iran even harder again today."
