The units targeted sites in Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa and Bandar Abbas as part of the four-month-long US aggression against Iran.

CENTCOM claimed the strikes hit Iranian coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities, presenting the attacks as necessary to protect commercial shipping.

The statement also said more than 50,000 US service members are currently deployed across the Middle East.
