The United States military has completed its 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran. According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the latest round of operations concluded on Tuesday night, targeting military facilities linked to Iran's drone, missile and air operations.
CENTCOM said the strikes focused on Iranian military infrastructure, including aircraft hangars, drone storage sites and other facilities believed to support attacks on U.S. forces and regional allies. While the U.S. military described the operation as successful, it did not immediately provide details on the extent of the damage or whether there were any casualties.
Reports from Iran indicated that explosions were heard in several locations, including Tehran, Tabriz and parts of southern Iran, as air defence systems were activated in response to the strikes. Iranian authorities have yet to release a comprehensive assessment of the damage but have condemned the attacks as a violation of the country's sovereignty.
The sustained U.S. campaign comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Washington stating that the strikes are intended to degrade Iran's military capabilities and protect American personnel deployed across the region. The conflict has expanded in recent weeks following missile and drone attacks attributed to Iran and its allied groups, prompting repeated retaliatory operations by U.S. forces.
As diplomatic efforts remain stalled, concerns continue to grow over the risk of a wider regional conflict involving multiple countries. International leaders have renewed calls for restraint and a return to negotiations, warning that further military escalation could have serious consequences for regional stability and global energy markets.
