The United States "successfully completed a dense wave of strikes" against dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites inside Iran, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on Thursday.
The targets included military command centers, missile facilities, and drone installations. Describing the operation as an effort to reduce threats from Iran and its regional allies against US forces, commercial shipping, and Gulf States, the Command noted that more than 50,000 US troops deployed across the Middle East remain at the highest level of alert and readiness.
