Washington/Tehran: The United States military carried out a fresh round of airstrikes on multiple military targets inside Iran, with the operation lasting nearly two hours, according to US officials.
Military sources said the strikes targeted missile facilities, drone launch sites, command-and-control centres, and other strategic military infrastructure. Dozens of targets were hit in what officials described as a coordinated operation aimed at degrading Iran's military capabilities.
The US said the strikes were intended to counter security threats and protect its forces and regional interests. Iran, however, condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of its sovereignty and warning that it would respond at a time of its choosing.
The latest developments have sharply escalated tensions across West Asia, raising concerns over the possibility of a wider regional conflict. Analysts say continued hostilities could affect regional security, global energy markets, and international shipping routes.
