U.S. Central Command said the attacks targeted Iranian defense sites, communication systems, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >military surveillance capabilities<\/a>, using precision munitions from Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets against threats to U.S. forces and commercial ships.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump had warned Iran would \u201cpay the price\u201d and criticized stalled negotiations. The strikes were reported as larger than Tuesday\u2019s, with Iranian media describing explosions in several cities, though Iran had not released damage assessments as of early Thursday, according to the Associated Press. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles aimed at Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait; Kuwait reportedly closed its airspace. Iran also warned it would target ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, and Iranian media claimed it had already fired on two vessels attempting to navigate the strait.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States military launched another round of strikes against <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran<\/a> for the second consecutive day late Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
