CENTCOM

President Donald Trump's administration has struck vessels that it accuses of transporting narcotics in the Eastern Pacific, casting its targets as "narco-terrorists."

A US official told the WSJ that the ship's crew was transferred to another vessel after the attack, and all members were accounted for.

The source described Cooper’s appearance as historic, saying it was highly unusual for a CENTCOM commander to address an IDF operational forum of this kind.

Trump defended US weapons supplies on Thursday as officials warned that depleted air defense stockpiles could complicate further military action against Iran.

Saudi Arabia had also observed drones and missiles being moved, suggesting coordinated operations from both directions, the official said.

Rezaee's statement comes amid months of US airstrikes intended to reduce Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and compel Tehran to return to negotiations.

Military officials described the crowdsourcing-style email as unusual, while a second source said CENTCOM was reviewing its approach and considering a wide range of alternatives.

The scale of the US strikes on Iran on Thursday was "about twice the size of the previous night," a source told The Jerusalem Post, adding that the strikes were "wide, extensive, and impactful."

Several locations in southern Iran were targeted by US forces, with explosions heard in the cities of Bushehr, Abu Musa, Kish Island, Ahwaz, and Qeshm Island, Iranian state media Press TV reported.
