The U.S. has launched a new wave of strikes against Iran that targeted its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in response to attacks on American military bases in the Middle East, escalating a conflict that has spread across the region.

The U.S. struck dozens of IRGC targets ¡°including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities,¡± U.S. Central Command (Centcom) said in a Wednesday night post on social media platform X.

¡°The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries,¡± the command added.
