U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) released new video Saturday showing U.S. strikes on Iranian naval vessels.
"For decades, Iranian naval vessels have threatened and harassed global shipping in regional waters, but those days are over," CENTCOM wrote on X while sharing the footage.
The Israel Defense Forces released video of a joint aerial refueling operation between Israeli and U.S. Air Force aircraft.
The footage was recorded from the cockpit of an Israeli Air Force aircraft during an aerial refueling with a U.S. Air Force aircraft. On X, the video has audio added of the song "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
"WATCH the Israeli and U.S. Air Forces complete a joint aerial refueling," the IDF wrote on X

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which has an area of responsibility that includes Iran and the greater Middle Eastern area, announced on Saturday that sailors and Marines arrived in the region on the USS Tripoli.
"U.S. Sailors and Marines aboard USS Tripoli (LHA 7) arrived in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, March 27. The America-class amphibious assault ship serves as the flagship for the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group / 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit composed of about 3,500 Sailors and Marines in addition to transport and strike fighter aircraft, as well as amphibious assault and tactical assets," CENTCOM's post on X noted.
CENTCOM's announcement comes as the Pentagon weighs whether to send an additional 10,000 U.S. troops to the Middle East. President Donald Trump said the U.S. military has "another 3,554 targets left," adding, "and that'll be done pretty quickly."
"And then, you know, at some point we're going to have to determine what we do," Trump said during remarks in Miami Beach on Friday.

The IDF indicated that the Shaib had been presenting himself as a journalist.
"ELIMINATED: Ali Hassan Shaib, a Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist who operated for years under the guise of a journalist for the “Al-Manar” network," the IDF noted in a post on X.
"Shaib exposed IDF troop positions in southern Lebanon and maintained direct contact with Hezbollah operatives," the post added.

Iran-backed Houthis took responsibility for a missile launch at Israel early Saturday, their first since the joint U.S.-Israeli war against Iran began, the Associated Press, reported, adding that Israel's military noted that it intercepted it.
Houthi Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree noted Saturday that Houthis fired off ballistic missiles at what he characterized as "sensitive Israeli military sites" in southern Israel, the outlet reported.
The war that the U.S. and Israel launched against Iran has continued for four weeks so far, spilling into a fifth week on Saturday.
Sirens sounded around Beer Sheba and near Israel's main nuclear research center while Iran and Hezbollah targeted Israel overnight, the AP noted. Explosions could be heard in Tel Aviv, where Israeli Fire and Rescue Service indicated that it responded to 11 impact sites, the outlet reported.
More than 400 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed since the new war against Israel began on March 2, Reuters reported, citing two sources familiar with the Iran-backed and Lebanon-based terror group's count.
Israel's military provided a much larger count of Hezbollah's death toll, indicating this week that it had terminated at least 700 Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, including hundreds from Hezbollah's Radwan Force, the outlet noted.
{{#rendered}}Iran’s military is not designed to win a conventional war against the United States or Israel. It is designed to survive one, absorb damage and continue fighting over time, experts say.
That strategy is reflected both in how the force is built and how it is performing now, after weeks of sustained U.S. and Israeli strikes.
The scale of the campaign has been significant. More than 9,000 targets have been struck since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, according to a March 23, 2026, fact sheet from U.S. Central Command, alongside more than 9,000 combat flights, hitting missile sites, air defenses, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command centers and weapons production facilities.
President Donald Trump said during remarks at the FII Priority Miami Summit event on Friday that he would like his legacy to be that of a “peacemaker.”
He made the comment after being asked, “What do you want your legacy to be?”
The president said he “settled eight wars,” saving “millions and millions of people.”
“And, I mean, I know it doesn't sound right for me to say this, but I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker. Cuz I really believe I'm a peacemaker. It doesn't seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker,” he said.
The president's comments came nearly four weeks since he unilaterally launched a war against Iran in conjunction with Israel. Saturday marks the start of the fifth week of war.
Twelve U.S. service members were wounded in an Iranian missile and drone attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia, Fox News has confirmed.
The strike hit Prince Sultan Air Base on Friday, damaging several U.S. refueling aircraft, officials said. Two of the wounded troops were reported to be in serious condition.
At least one KC-135 air refueling aircraft was hit and caught fire during the strike, according to a senior U.S. official.
The attack comes as the monthlong conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran continues to escalate and follows earlier reports that more than 300 U.S. service members have been wounded since the start of Operation Epic Fury.
The Pentagon is continuing to move additional forces into the region, while officials say military options remain on the table as the situation evolves.
