CENTCOM confirmed that the US military struck over 80 targets in Iran, according to i24NEWS. President Trump said the memorandum of understanding with Iran is over and that it is a waste of time to talk, adding that Iran 'plays dirty' and is 'a bunch of sick people.' The strikes occurred yesterday, Trump said.
President Trump declared the memorandum of understanding with Iran over, calling Iran “a bunch of sick people” who “play dirty,” and said it is a waste of time to negotiate. Speaking at 11:30 Jerusalem, Trump confirmed the strikes occurred yesterday (Jul 7). CENTCOM earlier confirmed that US forces struck over 80 targets in Iran, according to i24NEWS, providing the official tally.
The Zioneer’s thread traces the evolution of reporting this morning. At 06:02 Jerusalem, the desk reported a video of an IRGC air base in Bandar Abbas engulfed in flames, with the source unconfirmed. Within minutes, reports attributed the strikes to the US military. A map compiled from multiple reports confirmed impacts in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik, and Kharg Island. A subsequent report detailed 80 targets across four sites. CENTCOM then officially confirmed over 80 targets, specified that 60 IRGC patrol boats were among them, and identified hits on ports in Bandar Abbas and Geruk.
Background: The Zioneer has reported on the escalating US-Iran tension. On Jun 28, Trump announced strikes on Iranian missile depots and radar sites, threatening Iran would “not continue to exist.” On Jun 10, he warned of “hard daily strikes.” On Jun 14, he sent tough messages to Tehran. The current strikes represent the most extensive publicly acknowledged US operation on Iranian soil since the ceasefire.
What remains open: Iran’s foreign ministry responded by holding the US administration responsible for the consequences of violating the MOU. No independent verification of the full extent of damage or casualties has been released, and the status of the Strait of Hormuz and any Iranian retaliation remains unclear.
