[Financial News]  United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) announced on the 10th local time that its recent self-defense airstrikes targeting Iran have been completed.
Foreign media outlets, including Deutsche Welle (DW), reported that USCENTCOM said on its official X account that the airstrikes had been successfully completed.
A post on X said, "Forces under U.S. Central Command carried out airstrikes against military surveillance facilities, communications systems, and air defense bases across Iran," adding, "U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets were deployed to launch precision-guided weapons at Iranian targets that threaten international merchant vessels and U.S. forces sailing in regional waters."
The command then stressed, "This airstrike was a response to Iran's baseless and ongoing acts of aggression," and warned strongly that "U.S. forces remain prepared and vigilant to deliver lethal strikes at any time."
