WASHINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said late on Tuesday it ended its latest round of strikes on Iran that marked the 11th consecutive night of American attacks.
Here are quotes and details:
• "CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

He just wants out.
A sad event in the history of America. It's the first time wed have retreated when we had essential interests at stake.
Such interests were not present in Iraq, Afghanistan or Viet Nam. They held only abstract, esoteric interests.
We have real, essential interests in the Persian Gulf and our government is ceding them to a murderous cult.
You feel better now?
Exactly.
Not until Trump says it’s over.

Please, seek help.
Like what? Keeping foreign kings on their thrones and protecting borders created by European colonial powers over 100 years ago?
TRUMP has no intention of retrieving/destroying the U-235 and opening the Strait of Hormuz.
He just wants out......the first time we’ve retreated when we had essential interests at stake.
Trump has predictably dismissed the idea that Netanyahu “tricked him,” asserting
that he, himself, ordered strikes “to prevent” Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Yet, the fact is for many years, Netanyahu unsuccessfully lobbied
multiple US administrations to act wrt Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Analysts note that while Netanyahu played a significant role in manipulating US perception of the Iranian threat, “Israel’s biggest hurdle” was to “make sure” Trump acquiesced. Trump’s actions had to align with Israel’s own closely-held, decades-long sub rosa policy objectives.
Trump fell for it——hook, line and sinker. Shockingly Trump ignored the
US’ $17 billion intel apparat......in favor of the self-serving Mossad’s intel.
Mind-bending reports “said” that the US and Israel engaged in coordinated, joint operations targeting Iranian facilities and proxies.....which proved to be a deceptive cover story by Israel.
And that’s a fact.
Are you saying Iran doesn’t have 900lbs of 60% HE U-235?
And that they have not sworn our destruction?
Although it's a tenuous situation, the Strait is open to commercial traffic.
BEING A CONSERVATIVE MEANS FACING FACTS
Hat to disappoint you, but nothing here indicates that there won’t be a twelfth night of strikes.
Just that the round that occurred on the eleventh night are done.
Iran’s been two weeks from a nuke for most of my life! Israel lies all the time about intelligence gatherings so that they can move things in their direction. They’ll even attack a trusted ally, remember that old timers?????
Truth is, there has been zero evidence produced by this administration that shows Iran was about to assemble or use a nuke. Why not? Should be easy evidence for our buddies in Israel to produce or for us to.
Trump had the right strategy last year - go in fast, knock out their facilities, let them waste vast resources rebuilding. Then go in a year or two later, do it again. No protracted war like Israel has tricked us into this year.
But I won’t be too hard on Trump. They probably sold the evidence to him as Iran would be nuking DC the next week. That’s the way Mossad works. Heck, there might even be a Mossad agent on the cabinet or in the White House. That’s the way they roll baby.
Looks like the OP isn’t getting the reaction from us he was expecting. 😂
<< Such interests were not present in Iraq, Afghanistan or Viet Nam.>>
Correct. This war against a fanatical jihadi regime hellbent on acquiring nuclear weapons to achieve its long-stated purpose of destroying both the United States and Israel is more justified than any war since World War II. Not finishing the job would bring about a catastrophe that, unfortunately, most Americans can’t even fathom.
Do you believe a 12th, or 30th night of air strikes will alter the situation on the ground?
Liz’s entire agenda is dead Jews and a weakened America.
Why she’s here is anyone’s guess.
Iran has beome an open, debilitating sore on the Trump presidency. The Democrats like maggots have infected that sore, hope to suck it dry, kill the host and squirm to power.
The United States and Iran have been sworn adversaries...... under several presidents....... since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iran has called for the end of American influence and hegemony in the Middle East under several presidents.
While they have never officially declared total war against one another, Iran and the US have been locked in decades of high-stakes political and military brinkmanship under several presidents.
Iran’s hostility has repeatedly manifested itself under several presidents.
What do YOU think they intended to do with 900lbs 60% U-235?
The jump to 90% (boom) takes but two weeks. After that it’s an engineering problem that a 2nd year Engineering class could solve in a few days.
