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.
