CENTCOM Official Denial of U.S. Airstrikes in Lamerd, Iran
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) released a formal statement on March 31, 2026, refuting widespread media reports claiming that U.S. forces had conducted airstrikes in Lamerd, Iran. The clarification comes amid the ongoing 'Operation Epic Fury,' a campaign directed at dismantling Iranian military infrastructure. CENTCOM emphasized that no such kinetic operations occurred in that specific region on Tuesday. The denial seeks to manage diplomatic fallout and prevent unintended escalation as regional tensions remain at a critical threshold.
