US launches 3rd consecutive night of strikes against Iran: CENTCOM
President Trump ordered another wave of airstrikes against Iran Monday, marking the third consecutive night the US military has battered regime targets.
“At 4:45 p.m. ET today, US Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” read a statement released by the combatant command.
“These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM added.
On Sunday night, US fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones and one-way attack sea drones hit “dozens of targets at multiple locations,” according to CENTCOM, including Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats.
Trump teased the latest show of US military might earlier on Monday as he vowed to take control of the Strait of Hormuz.
