Axios reports, citing sources, that the overnight US strikes in Iran targeted air defense systems, radar stations, advanced missile warehouses, and drone storage and operation complexes. The extent of damage is not yet confirmed.
At approximately 02:24 Jerusalem, the US military confirmed a new wave of strikes against Iran, as The Zioneer has been tracking through multiple reports. Now, Axios reports, citing sources, that the overnight strikes hit air defense systems, radar stations, advanced missile warehouses, and drone storage and operation complexes. This adds further detail to the target list previously outlined by a senior US official and journalist Barak Ravid.
The thread began with unconfirmed reports of US strikes in southern Iran at 02:24 Jerusalem. Within minutes, a senior US official provided a detailed breakdown of targets including air surveillance radars, missile and drone storage, and surface-to-air missile launchers (version 5). The US military then confirmed a third round of strikes (version 6) and subsequently a new wave following a ship attack (version 7). Barak Ravid independently reported a similar target set (version 8). The source base has evolved from single unverified reports to multiple official confirmations.
As The Zioneer reported on June 28, overnight US strikes hit newly built targets including surveillance and drone storage. Earlier, on June 10, communications and command-and-control facilities were among the targets. The campaign is designed to pressure Tehran into a nuclear deal, as The Zioneer reported on June 11 citing a US official, who cautioned the strikes risk escalation.
The extent of damage from this round is not yet independently confirmed. The Axios report is based on sources, and verification is pending.
