The United States has hit more than 1,250 targets in the first 48 hours of the war against Iran — up from more than 1,000 during the first day of the conflict — AFP reports citing the US military.

Targets struck included command-and-control centres, ballistic missile sites, Iranian navy ships and submarines, and anti-ship missile sites, according to a fact sheet released by the US Central Command, which is responsible for American forces in the region.
