U.S. Military Launches Nighttime Airstrikes for 12th Consecutive Day... "Additional Strikes on Iranian Military Targets"

The U.S. Central Command launched additional airstrikes against Iran on the 22nd (local time).

Through social media platform X earlier that day, the Central Command stated, "At 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. military, at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief, initiated additional airstrikes against Iranian military targets."

The Central Command added, "The mission will continue to further degrade Iran's capability to threaten civilian crews and commercial vessels transiting regional waterways."

This marks the 12th consecutive day of U.S. airstrikes against Iran.

The Central Command's announcement did not provide specific details regarding the targets.

Airstrikes by the U.S. military appeared to have targeted areas near the Iranian capital of Tehran the previous day.

Germany's dpa news agency reported that air defense systems were activated over Tehran and explosions were heard in northeastern Tehran the previous day.

President Trump threatened earlier that morning that if Iran attacks vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would retaliate by bombing Iranian bridges or power plants.

He also stepped up his warning by stating that bridges and power plants in and around Tehran could also become targets for bombing.
