U.S. Central Command announced that the latest wave of strikes on Iran has ended, stating the operation lasted more than five hours. The announcement follows earlier confirmation at 04:43 Jerusalem that the wave had concluded, now adding the duration.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced early Saturday that the latest wave of strikes on Iran has concluded, specifying that the operation lasted more than five hours. The announcement provides a new detail on the duration of the offensive, which was initially reported as having ended at 04:43 Jerusalem time.
Earlier this morning, at 04:43 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that CENTCOM had declared the end of the latest strike wave and noted that over 50,000 U.S. service members remain deployed across the Middle East. The new statement adds the operational timeline: the wave extended beyond five hours.
The U.S. has conducted multiple strike waves against Iran since July 13. As The Zioneer reported on July 14, CENTCOM completed a five-hour strike wave across six Iranian sites — Bushehr, Chabahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas — targeting coastal defense systems, missile and drone launch sites, and maritime military capabilities. Subsequent waves have been confirmed by U.S. officials, with the Pentagon acknowledging renewed offensive operations on July 13.
Specific targets and damage assessments for this latest wave have not been released. The U.S. maintains a regional deployment of over 50,000 troops, described by CENTCOM as 'vigilant, lethal, and ready.'
