- US Central Command released video footage on June 11, 2026, showing a US warship firing missiles in strikes against Iran.
- The US military characterized the strikes as 'self-defence' operations, targeting Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communications systems, and air defense sites.
- The video accompanied a military statement declaring that US forces had completed 'the latest wave of attacks' on Iran.
- The three named target categories — surveillance, communications, and air defense — frame the operation as aimed at specific military functions rather than broad infrastructure.
Why it matters: By labeling the strikes 'self-defence' and narrowing the targets to surveillance, communications, and air defense systems, US Central Command is providing public, visual documentation of an active multi-wave military campaign against Iran. The video format, rather than a written after-action report, gives the military a visual record to justify the operation's scope and proportionality as the campaign continues.
