The United States conducted a second wave of airstrikes against Iran within a two-day period, focusing on assets belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that the strikes, which began at 12 p.m. EST, were a response to recent IRGC actions.
According to CENTCOM, the targets were selected due to "recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region." The IRGC oversees operations in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
This action marks the second set of U.S. strikes on Iran in quick succession. The specific details of the targets and the extent of damage were not immediately released. The situation remains fluid, with officials indicating it is a developing story.
