The United States acknowledged Thursday that its forces had carried out military strikes inside Iran, a major escalation between the two countries. The confirmation came from the Pentagon, which gave no details on the targets or the timing of the operation.
The confirmation
American military authorities confirmed the strikes in a brief statement. No specifics were provided about the locations hit, the type of munitions used, or whether there were any casualties. The acknowledgment marks the first time the US has publicly admitted striking Iranian territory.
No immediate response from Tehran
Iran's government has not yet issued a public response to the strikes. The silence leaves open questions about how the country will react and whether this will lead to further military action.
The US has not indicated if additional strikes are planned. Officials did not say what prompted the operation or what the intended target was. For now, the scope and purpose of the mission remain unclear.
