On July 29, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted a series of airstrikes against targets in Iran. According to an official statement released by CENTCOM, the operation lasted for two hours and was described as a "heavy wave" of strikes. The military command stated that the action was a direct response to attempted missile attacks directed at U.S. forces the previous day.

The targets hit during the operation included a variety of Iranian military assets. CENTCOM reported that the strikes successfully engaged command and control centers, facilities used for missile and drone production, coastal surveillance equipment, and various maritime defense capabilities. The military command characterized the mission as "successfully completed" in a public statement posted to social media.

While the U.S. military has provided a summary of the targets and the stated motivation for the strikes, there has been no immediate confirmation or detailed damage assessment provided by Iranian officials regarding the specific impact of the operation. The situation remains a developing point of tension in the region, with the U.S. framing the strikes as a defensive response to prior aggression against its personnel.
