Washington DC: The US Central Command released footage on Saturday of airstrikes against Iranian naval vessels in regional waters, saying such threats to global shipping are over; separately Iran's state media and IRGC claimed they struck two alleged US 'hideouts' in Dubai and inflicted heavy casualties. CENTCOM issued a public denial on Saturday saying no US personnel were attacked in Dubai and posted footage to support its account; Vice President JD Vance said this week the US had achieved the 'gross majority' of objectives and would continue operations briefly to neutralise Tehran's nuclear threat.
