General Dan “Raizin” Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, briefed reporters at the Pentagon yesterday about U.S. operations in Iran. He told them that American forces struck “across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber . . . to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran’s ability to conduct and sustain combat operations.” Gen. Caine added that the U.S. military hit “more than 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours.” U.S. and Israeli strikes continued overnight. Israel alone hit an additional 600 targets. Two Iranian drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, the building was empty at the time, and there were no casualties. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait was also attacked by Iranian drones.
