U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted a series of strikes targeting Iranian-backed forces, the command announced. These operations concluded recently, according to official statements. The strikes focused on weaponry and infrastructure that CENTCOM identified as integral to recent drone and missile activities.

Commanders authorized these actions in response to escalating threats in the region.

They have not released specific details regarding the locations or exact timing of individual strikes.
