U.S. Military Denies Iran's Claim of Civilian Target Strikes

WASHINGTON – The U.S. military has denied Iranian government claims that its recent strikes hit civilian infrastructure. U.S. officials stated the operations aimed to reduce Iranian military capabilities.

American military representatives clarified the intent of the strikes in a statement. They indicated the operations were designed to "further degrade Iranian military capabilities."

Tehran had previously asserted that U.S. forces had targeted non-military sites within Iran. The U.S. government has consistently maintained its focus on military targets only.

This exchange follows a series of military actions in the region. Both sides have offered differing accounts of the targets and impact of these actions.

The U.S. Department of Defense has provided specific information regarding the locations of its strikes. It stated these locations housed military assets, not civilian facilities.

Iranian officials have not yet responded to the U.S. denial. The situation continues to develop as both nations present their perspectives.
