US military confirms hits Iranian air defence and naval sites
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it completed a wave of strikes against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran early on Wednesday, CNBC reported.
The US military reported conducting a series of strikes against Iranian military sites, including air defenses and naval installations, in response to recent attacks by Iran. These attacks targeted commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and involved an assault on US troops in the region. President Trump threatened additional strikes if Iran retaliated.
Iran claimed to have retaliated by firing missiles at a US base in Jordan. The UAE also intercepted an Iranian drone over its waters. Crude oil prices experienced a slight increase following the news of the strikes, with WTI Oil reaching $91.35 per barrel.
