АНУ-ын Зэвсэгт хүчин Ираны цэргийн чадавхыг сулруулах зорилгоор ес дэх өдрөө дараалан агаарын цохилт өглөө.
АНУ-ын Төв командлал (CENTCOM) өдөр бүр явуулдаг агаарын цохилтоо орон нутгийн цагаар 19:00 цагт эхлүүлсэн нь өмнөх өдрүүдийнхээс оройтсон үзүүлэлт боллоо. Энэхүү ажиллагаа нь Ормузын хоолой орчимд худалдааны хөлөг онгоцнуудад заналхийлж буй Ираны цэргийн хүчин чадлыг бууруулах зорилготой гэж албаны эх сурвалж мэдэгдэв.
Сүүлийн өдрүүдэд Ираны зүгээс Иордан болон Иракт байрлаж буй АНУ-ын цэргийн баазууд руу пуужин болон дроноор довтолсны улмаас гурван цэргийн алба хаагч амиа алдаж, олон арван хүн шархаджээ. АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп энэхүү үйл явдлыг харамсалтай хэмээн тодорхойлсон ч тус улсын цэргийн алба хаагчдын амь нас хохирсонтой холбоотой хариу арга хэмжээний талаар албан ёсны мэдэгдэлд дурдаагүй байна.
Шинжээчдийн дүгнэж буйгаар Ираны зэвсэгт хүчин АНУ-ын агаарын довтолгооноос хамгаалах системийг нэвтрэх чадвараа сайжруулж, илүү хурдан бөгөөд маневрлах чадвар өндөртэй пуужингуудыг ашиглах болжээ. Үүний зэрэгцээ Исламабадын харилцан ойлголцлын санамж бичгийн хүрээнд байгуулсан гал зогсоох хэлэлцээр цуцлагдсаны улмаас талуудын хоорондох мөргөлдөөн өдөр бүр шахам үргэлжилж байна.
Нөхцөл байдал хурцадсантай холбогдуулан АНУ-ын Төрийн департамент дэлхий даяар аялал жуулчлалын анхааруулга гаргаж, гэнэтийн нөхцөл байдал үүсэж болзошгүйг иргэддээ сануулав. Иран улс гал зогсоох үүргээ түдгэлзүүлснийг мэдэгдсэн бол АНУ-ын тал ч мөн энэхүү хэлэлцээр хүчингүй болсныг албан ёсоор зарлаад байна.

CENTCOM announced a new round of strikes much later than usual and did not mention retaliation for American deaths
The US began its ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran only after the World Cup final and trophy presentation had concluded, marking an unusually late start to Washington’s nightly bombing campaign.
US Central Command announced that the new attacks had begun at 7pm Eastern Time, while most previous nightly rounds had been launched between 2pm and 4pm.
“CENTCOM began conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran at 7pm ET today for the ninth consecutive night,” the command said, claiming that the attacks would continue degrading Iranian military capabilities allegedly used against commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
CENTCOM did not explain the timing or indicate that the operation had been deliberately scheduled around the international football event. However, US President Donald Trump attended the match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which went into extra time, and joined the post-game trophy presentation, which wrapped up shortly before the strikes began.
The statement also did not mention retaliation for the deaths of American troops or identify the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a specific target. By contrast, the previous night’s statement described the bombing as intended to “swiftly punish” those involved.
The number of US service members confirmed killed following recent Iranian attacks in Jordan and Iraq has risen to three, with another set of remains found in the rubble yet to be identified. Trump called the deaths a “shame,” but dismissed criticism of the war by comparing the casualties with the far greater losses suffered in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
The losses came amid growing concern in Washington that Iran has become more effective at penetrating American air defenses. The New York Times reported that Tehran still possesses ample missile stocks and has grown more adept at evading US interception systems, while the Wall Street Journal said Iranian forces had adapted by deploying high-speed, maneuverable missiles.
US forces in Jordan reportedly came under Iranian missile and drone attacks on at least four occasions during the week. The strikes reportedly injured dozens of American personnel and damaged several Black Hawk helicopters, while Tehran claimed to have destroyed US fighter jets and other aircraft at Al-Azraq Air Base.
Washington and Tehran have exchanged strikes on a near-daily basis since the collapse of their latest ceasefire last week. Iran has suspended its commitments under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, while Trump has also declared the truce “over.” The escalating exchanges have prompted the State Department to issue a worldwidetravelwarning, cautioning Americans about the potential for “unforeseen escalation.”
