US military releases footage of night attacks on Iran
The US military launched a wave of attacks on Iran overnight, striking dozens of Iranian military installations, including air defense systems, coastal radar sites, and missile and drone sites.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.
The US says the attacks are in response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the waterway is closed until further notice, while the US insists it is open.
In a statement detailing Sunday night’s strikes, Centcom said U.S. forces “are prepared to ensure freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping.”
The two sides agreed to a ceasefire in June as part of a “memorandum of understanding,” but last week Donald Trump said the ceasefire was “over,” calling Iran’s leadership “scum.”
