The U.S. military says it has finished its latest wave of strikes on Iran, carried out at President Donald Trump’s direction, according to U.S. Central Command. In a statement posted on the platform X late Wednesday, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck multiple categories of Iranian targets. These include Iranian command centers, air defense sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities. One of the locations cited is Bandar Abbas, described as Iran’s principal port city on the Strait of Hormuz. The reports frame the strikes as part of a broader U.S. effort against military and security-related capabilities, including systems linked to missiles, drones, and regional coastal monitoring. Across the available sources, the core details are consistent: the U.S. says the strikes have been completed, CENTCOM lists the types of targets hit, and the operations include actions affecting facilities associated with Bandar Abbas. No additional assessments of damage, casualties, or follow-on impacts are provided in the supplied excerpts.
