CENTCOM described the 10 June operation as additional "self-defense strikes" against multiple targets in Iran at the direction of President Donald Trump. CBS News reported that CENTCOM said the latest round had concluded on Wednesday night and that the targets included Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems and air-defence sites.
The 10 June strikes followed an earlier CENTCOM release saying U.S. forces hit Iranian air-defence, ground-control and surveillance-radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz after what CENTCOM described as Iran's attack on a U.S. Apache helicopter. CENTCOM said that earlier operation used U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets and precision munitions.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said through IRNA on 10 June that Iran's armed forces had responded under what Tehran described as a right of self-defence by striking U.S. bases and assets in the region that it said were used as launch points for attacks on Iran. That statement is Iran's official rationale; it does not independently verify damage at the targets.
IRNA later carried an IRGC statement saying Iranian forces had struck 18 U.S. military targets across the region, including airbases in Kuwait and Bahrain, and that Iran's army had targeted the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain with attack drones. The same statement said 12 ballistic missiles were launched at Al-Azraq air base in Jordan. Al Jazeera also reported that Iran claimed attacks on U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
Regional accounts differed on effects. Al Jazeera reported that Jordan said its air defences intercepted 20 missiles fired from Iran toward the Azraq area, with falling shrapnel causing no casualties or material damage. It also reported that Bahrain activated air-raid sirens and that Kuwait said its air defences were intercepting hostile aerial targets. Those statements point to regional military activity, but they do not confirm Iran's claims of damage to U.S. facilities.
