US Strikes Iran's Air Defenses And Missile Stores For An Eighth Night
CENTCOM's July 18 release lists coastal surveillance sites and IRGC forces among the targets, alongside 50,000 US troops now deployed region-wide.
- Coastal surveillance, air defense, and missile and drone storage sites were named as targets again.
- IRGC forces also came under fire in the July 18 strikes, per CENTCOM's own account.
- CENTCOM cites 50,000 US troops now across the Middle East, calls them 'lethal and ready.'
Why it matters: Eight nights striking the same categories of targets means night one's objective still isn't finished.
