CENTCOM said it concluded a 12th consecutive evening of strikes against Iranian maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage, coastal surveillance and air-defense assets. Explosions were reported across southern and western provinces including Khuzestan, where officials said missiles hit the Shalamcheh border crossing.
