US strikes Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in ‘powerful response’ to attacks on its forces

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it conducted a "heavy wave of strikes" against dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran. This action was a direct response to the IRGC's ballistic missile attacks on American troops in the region the previous day. The targeted sites included command centers, missile and drone facilities, and other military and surveillance locations. CENTCOM stated the strikes aimed to "further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries."
