The U.S. Central Command announced a new wave of airstrikes against Iran early Wednesday, marking the 11th consecutive night of operations aimed at degrading Iranian maritime threats in the Strait of Hormuz, according to CENTCOM. In response, Iranian air defense systems were activated in Tehran against what the state-aligned Noor News agency described as 'hostile targets'.
The U.S. Central Command early Wednesday announced a new wave of airstrikes against Iran, the 11th consecutive night of operations in the ongoing campaign. As The Zioneer reported at 02:35, the strikes target Iranian military capabilities used to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement came via a report by Barak Ravid (N12) at 02:43.
The campaign has continued nightly since at least July 17, when CENTCOM launched the seventh consecutive night of strikes, according to previous Zioneer reporting. The eighth and ninth nights followed on July 19 and 20, respectively. Each wave has focused on degrading Iran's naval and coastal defense infrastructure, including missile storage, surveillance, and air defense systems.
In a separate development, Iran's state-aligned Noor News agency reported that air defense systems were activated in Tehran against 'hostile targets,' a likely response to the U.S. strikes. The extent of the strikes and their effects on the ground remain unconfirmed, and Iran has not issued an official statement. The activation of Tehran's air defenses suggests the campaign may be affecting the capital, though details are limited.
