US strikes hit Iran for seventh consecutive night
That was dismissed as false by Centcom.Jordan's armed forces said it had intercepted 10 Iranian missiles fired into its airspace overnight, though there were no casualties or damage.Centcom said it had ended its strikes at 21:30 ET (02:30 BST) after several hours. "U.S. forces employed fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships in addition to other assets," it said in its statement.Iran's state-run Fars agency had said two oil tankers "exploded and caught fire while passing through a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz".
