U.S. concludes eighth straight night of strikes on Iran, Pentagon says
The U.S. has concluded its eighth straight night of strikes on Iran, U.S. Central Command said.
As part of the latest round of strikes, the U.S. specifically targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces that were believed to have launched Friday's attack that killed at least two U.S. soldiers on a Jordanian military base, CENTCOM reported.
The U.S. also "successfully hit Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites to continue degrading Iranian military capabilities," CENTCOM added.
The strikes ended at around 11:30 p.m. ET, according to CENTCOM.
