Trump defended US weapons supplies on Thursday as officials warned that depleted air defense stockpiles could complicate further military action against Iran.

Saudi Arabia had also observed drones and missiles being moved, suggesting coordinated operations from both directions, the official said.

Rezaee's statement comes amid months of US airstrikes intended to reduce Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and compel Tehran to return to negotiations.

Military officials described the crowdsourcing-style email as unusual, while a second source said CENTCOM was reviewing its approach and considering a wide range of alternatives.

The scale of the US strikes on Iran on Thursday was "about twice the size of the previous night," a source told The Jerusalem Post, adding that the strikes were "wide, extensive, and impactful."

Several locations in southern Iran were targeted by US forces, with explosions heard in the cities of Bushehr, Abu Musa, Kish Island, Ahwaz, and Qeshm Island, Iranian state media Press TV reported.

On July 29, CENTCOM said, “CENTCOM forces continue to strictly enforce the US blockade against Iran. As of July 29 CENTCOM has redirected 20 commercial vessels, disabled 2, and boarded 2.”
