On April 13 and the morning of April 14, US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces, supported by US European Command destroyers, successfully engaged and destroyed more than 80 unilateral strike drones and at least six ballistic missiles intended to attack Israel from Iran and Yemen.
The statement said Iran's "unprecedented, malicious and reckless" behaviour jeopardized "regional stability and the security of US and coalition forces."
It is also emphasized that the Central Committee continues to support the protection of Israel against such dangerous actions of Iran.
We will continue to work with all our regional partners to enhance regional security, the US command added.

The IDF said 99% of the more than 300 missiles fired by Iran were intercepted by Israel and its "partners".
Some rockets hit an airbase in southern Israel. Thirty-one people sought medical help.
In total, Iran launched about 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles. Some of the weapons launched at Israel were launched from Iraq and Yemen.
