The United States military completed a 'heavy wave' of strikes against Iran, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said late Wednesday, as the United States resumed attacks on Iran after a lull.
CENTCOM said in a statement that its forces 'successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iranian targets' but did not provide details on the locations or targets hit. The statement did not mention any casualties or damage assessment.
The strikes mark a significant escalation in US-Iran tensions, which have been high since the US withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018. The Biden administration has said it is open to diplomacy but will respond to any attacks on US forces or interests.
Iran has not yet commented on the strikes. The US has not indicated whether further strikes are planned.
