CENTCOM Video Shows Precision Strikes on Iran’s Military Targets
The United States Central Command has released a video showing precision strikes on Iran’s military targets as US forces continue operations against Tehran.
The CENTCOM said, “U.S. forces continue to degrade Iranian military capability."
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that American forces carried out “the most powerful bombing raid" on Iran’s Kharg Island. In a post on Truth Social, he said the operation carried out on his orders, “totally obliterated" military targets.
“Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every military target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island," Trump wrote.
More than 90 military targets hit in Iran
On Saturday, the United States shared footage of real-time precision strikes on Kharg Island, which is Iran’s largest oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf and handles most of the country’s crude shipments.
According to US Central Command, American forces struck more than 90 Iranian military targets on the island while preserving the oil infrastructure.
“The strike destroyed naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
