The U.S. military carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes against Iran early Friday, targeting military command centers, drone facilities, communications networks, and maritime capabilities. The action came as President Donald Trump said he was weighing a “massive attack bigger than anything before” while Tehran rejected a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal and warned the conflict could expand further across the region. The latest escalation came after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces launched another round of strikes Thursday evening “to hold Iran accountable and diminish threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to commercial shipping,” before announcing the operation had concluded roughly two hours later.
CENTCOM said the strikes hit Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communications networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime capabilities. The command added that the Strait of Hormuz remained open to commercial traffic with U.S. military support.
