The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed via a social media post that US forces completed the 13th consecutive night of military operations against Iran at 9:00 PM Eastern Time.

These ongoing operations come amid rising regional tensions focused primarily on securing vital shipping lanes in the Gulf region.

CENTCOM explained on platform X that the attacks targeted military command centers, drone storage sites, communications infrastructure, coastal observation points, and naval capabilities, aiming to reduce risks to civilian navigation and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The Central Command did not provide additional details on the number of targets struck on Thursday.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated earlier Thursday that he is not yet ready to enter talks on a new ceasefire with Iran, indicating they 'need more of the same' following the series of successive airstrikes.

These field developments confirm the continuation of the current military approach adopted by the US administration in dealing with the Iranian file. This approach has been reflected in statements by political and military leaders linking the path to de-escalation with the extent of Iran's response to field pressures. The US position remains dependent on continued airstrikes to reduce military and strategic capabilities directed against international navigation. Follow-up will continue to see whether these operations will lead to fundamental changes in the security equations in the Strait of Hormuz region.
