Initial reports indicate explosions were heard south of Tehran, suggesting the strikes are no longer limited to Iran's coast but extend to urban centers, according to Hananel Aviv on Telegram. The reports are unverified.
A fresh round of explosions was reported south of Tehran around 00:49 UTC, according to Hananel Aviv on Telegram, who noted the strikes now appear to extend beyond coastal targets into urban areas. The report comes on a third night of sustained military activity across Iran.
As The Zioneer reported, earlier waves struck targets across southern Iran, including Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island, with a second wave hitting at approximately 23:16 UTC against air defense and command centers. Blasts were also reported earlier in the night at Bandar Abbas and in Tehran and Isfahan provinces around 00:46 UTC. The scope and nature of the latest explosions remain unverified; Iranian state media has not commented.
The strikes are attributed to US forces targeting Iranian terror infrastructure, according to multiple Hebrew-language security sources cited in our prior reports.
It remains unclear whether the reported urban-area strikes represent a new phase of the operation or isolated incidents. No official confirmation has been issued by any party.
