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

The U.S. military announced on June 10 (local time) that it has launched additional strikes against Iran.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, stated on X (formerly Twitter) that day, "At 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time today (6:15 a.m. KST on June 11), we initiated additional self-defense strikes targeting multiple facilities within Iran."

However, the command did not disclose the specific facilities or regions targeted in the operation.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had previously warned earlier that day that "key facilities" in Iran would be targeted.

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

The U.S. carried out retaliatory strikes on June 9 after an Iranian drone attack shot down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter on June 8, amid a stalemate in discussions over ending hostilities with Iran.

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