The US Central Command described the latest strikes on X as "a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on US forces based in the Middle East." "CENTCOM assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centres, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defence sites, and maritime capabilities," the US Central Command said in a statement on Wednesday. Ahead of the latest strikes, US President Trump told Fox News: "We'll be hitting them hard ... We are going to beat the 'effing s' out of them." Earlier, Jordan's army said it had intercepted five Iranian missiles, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying they had targeted US bases there. Two Hashed officials said five Iranian advisors were among those killed, and AFP correspondents saw coffins draped with Iranian flags.
