The U.S. military carries out another round of strikes against Iran on Wednesday, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). CBS News reports that this action is part of what CENTCOM describes as “self-defense” or “defensive strikes” in response to Iran’s “continued aggression.” Multiple CBS reports describe the strikes as occurring for a second straight day. U.S. officials cited by CBS News say the targets include ammunition depots, command-and-control centers, and warehouses, indicating a focus on both operational capabilities and supporting infrastructure. CENTCOM characterizes the strikes as measures taken to protect U.S. forces and interests. The reporting does not include independent confirmation of the strikes’ effects or details on Iranian statements in these excerpts. Overall, the coverage aligns on timing, CENTCOM’s framing of the operation as defensive/self-defense, and the types of Iranian facilities reportedly targeted—logistics sites and command-related infrastructure.
