The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced in a statement late Saturday night that military strikes against targets in Iran are currently ongoing.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media outlets, reports that the military operations are being executed according to a pre-determined plan. The strikes follow a period of heightened regional tensions and are part of a broader strategic response by Washington.
According to reports from the Xinhua news agency, official sources have not yet provided extensive details regarding the full scale of the attacks or the specific locations targeted. US President Donald Trump has previously emphasized that the United States will take all necessary measures to protect its interests and ensure regional stability.
The escalation comes amid a complex geopolitical landscape in the Middle East, where the United States maintains a significant military presence through CENTCOM. Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, CENTCOM is one of the eleven unified combatant commands of the US Department of Defense, responsible for American military operations and security interests in 21 nations stretching from Northeast Africa across the Middle East to Central and South Asia.
