The US military said late on Tuesday it began its latest strikes on Iran, marking the 11th consecutive night of American attacks.
“The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” the US Central Command said in a statement on X/Twitter.
CENTCOM later announced that it had concluded its strikes at 8:15 p.m. EST. The post stated that CENTCOM targeted “Iranian military operation centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure.”
Loud explosions were heard in parts of Iran’s Bushehr County, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.
Bushehr is home to the Bushehr Power Plant, Iran’s first and only commercial nuclear reactor. The region also houses a naval base that is critical for the functioning of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN).
Regime-affiliated Fars News Agency cited East Azerbaijan officials saying that a military site was struck near Tabriz in a US air attack.
Iranian state TV also said that air defenses were activated throughout the capital of Tehran.
