The United States military, under orders from President Donald Trump, has conducted a series of strikes against Iranian military targets and infrastructure. The latest wave of attacks, carried out by U.S. Central Command, targeted surveillance sites, military logistics, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities using fighter aircraft, drones, and warships.
