U.S. Completes Wave of Strikes on Iran as Tehran Fires Missiles and Drones

Overview

  • U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces completed a wave of strikes on Iran that targeted IRGC air‑defense sites, radar, maritime facilities, mine‑laying capabilities and communications, with the operation carried out on Tuesday.
  • Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at U.S. positions and regional states, and Jordan said its air defenses intercepted the majority of missiles that entered its airspace.
  • Iranian authorities and the Red Crescent reported that a U.S. strike hit a home hosting a wedding near Sirik, saying five people were killed and dozens wounded, a claim U.S. officials have not confirmed.
  • Multiple outlets, citing U.S. officials, reported that American forces struck two Iranian government tankers in the operation, a detail described by sources as part of a new retaliatory approach but not fully confirmed.
  • The strikes follow weekend action against IRGC rocket launchers accused of preparing sea mines for the Strait of Hormuz and come as Washington pairs periodic kinetic hits with stepped‑up sanctions while oil prices and shipping disruptions rise.
