Very heavy strikes are underway in Iran, with dozens of targets attacked simultaneously from the air and ground, according to the Abu Saleh Arabic Desk. The security channel described the operation as a 'war.' Details on the targets and casualties are not yet reported.
The Abu Saleh Arabic Desk reported that heavy strikes are underway in Iran, with dozens of targets attacked simultaneously from the air and ground, describing the operation as 'war.' The report did not specify the attacking force or provide details on targets or casualties.
This report comes hours after security analyst Barak Batash assessed that the overnight strikes hit the most significant targets since the current round began (00:05 Jerusalem). Earlier, at 21:30 Jerusalem on July 16, the same channel reported that attacks were underway in Iran without details. The channel has been covering the ongoing US-led air campaign against Iran, though the current report does not explicitly attribute the strikes to any party.
If confirmed, this would represent a major escalation in the scale and simultaneity of strikes. No independent confirmation has been published.
