US releases footage of strikes on 90 Iranian military targets
New Delhi: The United States has wrapped up a large‑scale air campaign against Iran, announcing that around 90 military targets were hit in coordinated strikes across key locations.
Videos released by the US military show precision munitions destroying radar sites, missile facilities and command hubs, underscoring Washington’s intent to significantly weaken Iran’s ability to project force in the region.
According to defence briefings, the strike package was designed to hit roughly 90 distinct targets tied to Iran’s air defence, missile operations, drone capability and coastal surveillance.
Analysts say the selection of these sites suggests the US aimed to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten shipping lanes and neighbouring states, while also sending a clear signal that any hostile activity will be met with a broad, coordinated response.
President Donald Trump has hailed the operation as a major success, framing the strikes as a necessary step to protect American interests and allies in West Asia.
He has again warned Tehran that the US will continue to respond “decisively” to any attack on Americans or partners, indicating that further military action remains on the table if Iran escalates or targets regional assets.
On the political front, Trump has suggested that the understanding underpinning US‑Iran peace efforts is effectively “over,” accusing Tehran of dragging out talks and failing to act in good faith.
By tying the strikes to stalled negotiations, the White House is signalling a shift away from dialogue and towards a more pressure‑driven approach, increasing uncertainty over any future diplomatic roadmap.
Tehran has sharply condemned the US operation, describing the bombardment as illegal and illegitimate under international law.
Iranian officials allege that the strikes caused widespread damage and casualties, arguing that Washington is using military force to undermine the country’s security apparatus and impose its will on the region.
In its public statements, Iran has vowed that the attacks “will not go unanswered,” hinting at possible retaliatory moves against US interests and regional partners.
Commentators warn that any tit‑for‑tat escalation could widen into a broader confrontation affecting the Gulf, Israel and neighbouring states, with the potential to disrupt energy flows and regional stability.
