CENTCOM releases video purportedly showing strikes on Iran
CENTCOM releases video purportedly showing strikes on Iran The US Central Command shared a black-and-white video purportedly showing strikes on Iran. The video shared on social media, marked “unclassified”, apparently shows explosions and smoke rising, but no discernible target. A few hours earlier, CENTOM said the US forces “conducted strikes against Iran as a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz”. It added that US aircraft “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites”. https://t.co/CckXLJSpah pic.twitter.com/NoMQ7cNtN5 — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) June 27, 2026
