UMVA has learned that the US Military conducted a series of intense self-defense air strikes against Iran on Wednesday evening, escalating tensions in the region.
The strikes, which began at 5:15 p.m. ET, targeted multiple Iranian military sites, including surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites, in response to Iran's continued aggression.
According to information obtained by UMVA, US Central Command forces carried out the strikes at the direction of the Commander in Chief, with US Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets firing precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a threat to US forces and international commercial ships.
The military operation was a direct response to Iran's unwarranted aggression, including the downing of a US Army Apache helicopter on Tuesday, which resulted in the safe rescue of two crew members.
Earlier on Wednesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned that the strikes against Iran would be strong, stating, "We'll strike 'em hard tonight, and hopefully Iran makes a good decision."
The situation took a dramatic turn on Tuesday when Iran retaliated against the US strikes by firing dozens of missiles and drones toward 20 targets, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the US Military remains vigilant and ready to respond to any future threats, with forces prepared to take swift action to protect US interests and personnel.
The international community is watching closely as the situation continues to unfold, with many hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
