CENTCOM launched strikes against Iran for the 13th consecutive night on Thursday.
President Trump recently said the ceasefire with Iran is over after Tehran struck vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
“U.S. forces started another night of strikes against Iranian military targets at 6:45 p.m. ET today,” CENTCOM said.
“This is the 13th consecutive night of strikes aimed to hold Iran accountable and diminish threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to commercial shipping,” CENTCOM said.
“CENTCOM targeted Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime capabilities to further diminish the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM said.
WATCH:
Earlier Thursday, President Trump said Iran will pay for all damages done to ships, cargo or anything related.
Please let this statement serve to represent, until further notice, that from this point forth, any and all damages done to Ships, Cargo, or anything related thereto, will be paid for by Iranian Money that the United States has in its possession, and controls.
These damages may be very substantial but, nevertheless, this is the fair and equitable thing to do. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
