Under President Trump's direction, U.S. Central
Command hit Iranian air defenses, radars, and surveillance facilities starting
at 5:15 p.m. ET Wednesday, firing 49 Tomahawk missiles and using fighter jets
in what they called a proportional response to Iran's aggression.
Iran accused the U.S. of war crimes for damaging
water reservoirs affecting 20,000 villagers, while claiming a Strait closure
and U.S. warship hit—both refuted by CENTCOM.
Trump warned of harder strikes Thursday unless Iran
agrees to end hostilities and limit its nuclear program, as oil prices topped
$92 a barrel amid stalled talks.
