DUBAI, Jun 11: The US military said early Thursday that that it had “completed” its latest round of airstrikes targeting Iran, after President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war.
The US Central Command issued a statement saying its forces targeted “Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems and air defense sites across Iran”. It did not elaborate on the damage done by the strikes, which it said had been carried out by the US Air Force, Marines and Navy.
“The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression,” Central Command said. “US forces remain vigilant, lethal and ready.”
Iran has threatened to retaliate, and missile sirens sounded early Thursday morning in Bahrain, which hosts U.S. troops.
