Abu Saleh, an analyst of the Arabic-language security desk, reports that US military strikes on targets in the Persian Gulf have resumed after a period of reduced activity. The report is single-sourced and unverified, and follows earlier reports of tanker activity and damage assessments in the region.
Abu Saleh, an analyst of the Arabic-language security desk, reported late Sunday night that US military strikes on targets in the Persian Gulf have resumed. The brief message did not specify the scale or targets of the renewed strikes, nor whether they represent a change in the intensity of the ongoing US air campaign.
The report comes amid a series of unverified claims from the same source. Earlier on Sunday, the Arabic Desk assessed that there was no change in US strike posture. Over the past 24 hours, the desk also reported an increase in US aerial refueling tanker activity over the Gulf and satellite imagery allegedly showing damage to US bases in Gulf states and Jordan. Those reports remain single-sourced and unverified.
As of this writing, there is no official confirmation from US Central Command or other authorities. The current report, like its predecessors, is based on a single source and should be treated with caution.
