According to Anadolu Agency, Washington announced that it launched a new wave of airstrikes on Saturday against Iran, as per the orders from the commander-in-chief. The US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) communicated on the American social media platform X, stating that the airstrikes commenced at 6 p.m. ET. The objective of these strikes is to degrade Iran's capability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and penalize the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces involved in attacks against American service members in Jordan.
