US Central Command says its forces launched strikes against several Iranian military assets on Saturday. Those assets included Iranian air defense sites, communication systems, and drone storage facilities. Centcom says the strikes were a direct response to an Iranian drone attack on an oil tanker transiting near the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain has also accused Iran of targeting it with drones. President Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that the US may be forced to militarily complete the job, and if that happens, quote, "Iran will no longer exist." Late Friday, US military forces targeted several Iranian military sites in response to an Iranian drone attack Thursday on a cargo ship navigating the Strait of Hormuz. Centcom says commercial vessels are continuing to travel through the Strait of Hormuz. Shondelise Duster, NPR News.
