Washington, July 22 /Xinhua/ — American forces carried out new strikes on Iranian military targets on Wednesday. This was reported on social media X by the US Central Command /CENTCOM/.
Airstrikes began on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. North American Eastern Time, according to the post. “The operation will continue with the aim of further reducing Iran’s ability to pose a threat to civilian mariners and commercial vessels passing through regional waters,” the command noted.
Earlier on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on the social network Truth Social to destroy one bridge or power plant in Iran for each vessel in the Strait of Hormuz fired upon by Tehran.
The central headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces “Khatam al-Anbiya” warned on Wednesday that in the event of an attack on Iranian infrastructure, Tehran will completely block oil exports from West Asia and strike oil, gas, electricity facilities, and economic infrastructure in the region. This was reported by the media.
The statement also notes that the ongoing threats from the United States will only lead to further escalation of the conflict both in the region and beyond.
According to a joint survey published last week by The Washington Post and Ipsos, 68 percent of adult Americans believe that a war with Iran should not be waged. Only 28 percent of respondents hold the opposite view. –0–
