The US military's Central Command confirmed that more than 80 targets were struck in Iran, according to a report by i24NEWS. The confirmation provides the first official US tally of the scale of the strikes.
CENTCOM officially confirmed that more than 80 targets were struck in Iran, providing the first official US tally of the scale of the strikes. The confirmation, reported by i24NEWS, comes at 09:41 Jerusalem, hours after initial reports of the overnight strikes.
The Zioneer's reporting on the strikes began at 06:02 Jerusalem with a video showing an IRGC air base in Bandar Abbas engulfed in flames, with the source of the strikes unconfirmed. By the same hour, a second report attributed the Bandar Abbas strikes to the US military. A third report mapped confirmed impacts in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Kharg Island, alongside unconfirmed impacts elsewhere. A fourth report detailed an unverified claim that 80 targets were struck across those four sites. The CENTCOM confirmation now verifies the scale.
The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported. Since June, US forces have struck air defense systems, radar arrays, and command-and-control units across southern Iran, with multiple waves reported. The context includes Iranian threats of retaliation, including warnings of further strikes on US bases, as reported earlier.
The confirmation does not specify the types of targets destroyed or any casualties. Damage assessments and Iranian official response remain unverified.
