Eleventh Night of US Airstrikes Rocks Major Iranian Cities
US Central Command has carried out its eleventh consecutive night of air strikes against Iran, citing the need to curb threats to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Explosions were reported near Tabriz, Tehran and several southern provinces, with Iran’s air defenses activated over the capital. Local officials in Khuzestan province confirmed missile attacks around Behbahan and Omidiyeh. Washington’s top diplomats and military leaders maintain that the strikes target military infrastructure and uphold freedom of navigation. US officials say they remain open to diplomacy if Iran commits to serious talks, even as costs mount and political debate grows in Congress. Regional mediators from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have intensified diplomatic outreach to de-escalate tensions. Despite the hostilities, US forces report the Strait remains open to merchant vessels.
