U.S. Central Command has released video purporting to show one of its strikes on Iran launched in response to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Footage released on Friday showed a strike as well as a burst of smoke. U.S. Central Command said the military struck missile and drone locations and coastal radar sites in Iran.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military said Saturday it had struck 10 targets in Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war’s uneasy ceasefire.

U.S. Central Command, in a post to social media, said that U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning. It later specified the strikes involved 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz.

The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the U.S. reached an interim deal to try and agree on a final accord to end the conflict.

In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. had “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” He warned of a point where the U.S. may no longer be able to be reasonable “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”

“If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The incident follows a similar back and forth that occurred just days prior when an Iranian drone struck a merchant vessel off the coast of

They never left. Islam is a phony religion centered around a phony prophet whose only goal was self aggrandizement.

Services (~60-70% of Tehran’s economy): As the national capital, Tehran is the hub for Iran’s government, public administration, banking, finance, healthcare, and retail. High value target.

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss.

Ceasefire is strained??? Uh... wouldn’t there have to first BE a ceasefire for that to even remotely be possible?

ten targets mean jacksquat to Iran ... if the USA is serious about the matter, they’re going to have to strike 500 targets to get Iran’s attention ... and if that doesn’t work, they’ll have to destroy all power generation plants and Iran’s entire oil shipping infrastructure ...

Kuwait says air defenses intercepting attacks

CNN

By Brad Lendon

The Kuwaiti Army said early Sunday its air defenses were intercepting attacks.

“Any explosions that may be heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting hostile targets,” it said in a statement on X.

“The public is urged to adhere to safety and security instructions issued by the relevant authorities,” the statement added.

Did you forget why Trump said he had to quit in the first place?

Ap Said.. “U.S. Central Command has released video purporting to show one of its strikes on Iran “
I say
“Central Command has got to stop releasing videos to purported news agencies.”
