CENTCOM Airstrikes on Iran
United States Central Command has intensified its campaign against Iranian infrastructure, deploying B-1 strategic bombers for coordinated strikes. Significant explosions occurred in Khondab, Khorramabad, Borujerd, Andimeshk, Ahvaz, Khorramshahr, Taft, Anarak, Omidiyeh, Firuzabad, Bandar Abbas, Suza, Jask, and Konarak. CENTCOM reports these actions targeted command and control centers, drone storage facilities, and coastal surveillance sites. Air defense activity was noted near Tehran.

IRGC Strikes in Kuwait and Jordan
Iranian forces launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting U.S. positions in Kuwait and Jordan. Satellite imagery confirms destruction of housing units at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, with reports of casualties among personnel. Patriot missile systems were activated at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan to intercept incoming munitions. A U.S. HIMARS launcher in Kuwait was reportedly struck during this exchange.

Electronic Warfare and Logistics
The theater has seen a surge in specialized air assets. Two E-11A Battlefield Air Communications Node aircraft and two EC-37B electronic warfare jamming aircraft have been deployed to support joint strike forces. These assets are tasked with disrupting radar coverage and facilitating secure communication for coalition sorties.

OUTLOOK
High-intensity kinetic exchanges continue between U.S. and Iranian forces. The increased integration of strategic bombers and electronic warfare platforms suggests the conflict is entering a sustained, high-tempo phase.
