According to Barak Batash, the overnight strikes on Iran hit the most significant targets since the current round of airstrikes began. The assessment comes as the US continues its aerial campaign against Iran, now in its sixth consecutive night.
Barak Batash, a journalist covering the regional escalation, reported shortly after midnight Jerusalem time that the overnight US strikes on Iran hit the most significant targets since the current campaign began. The assessment comes as the US continues its aerial campaign, now in its sixth consecutive night, according to the timeline The Zioneer has tracked.
The Zioneer has been following the campaign since the first reports on Wednesday, July 15, when initial accounts described the destruction of the 92nd Armored Division in Ahvaz. Throughout that night, multiple waves of strikes were reported, with operations concentrated in southern Iran and the Ahvaz area. The US military confirmed the sixth consecutive night of strikes, and the campaign has evolved from coastal targets along the Strait of Hormuz to deeper sites, as The Zioneer reported in earlier coverage.
According to The Zioneer's background reporting, US officials have described the campaign as ongoing, with hundreds of targets remaining along the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes have targeted Iranian air defenses, command infrastructure, and military bases, with the intensity varying across nights.
The specific targets hit in the latest strikes have not been independently verified, and no official US or Israeli confirmation has been issued. The assessment remains attributed to a single source, pending corroboration or further details from official channels.
