TL;DR

Footage circulating from Iran shows the aftermath of the US strike overnight in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, as well as a second site southeast of the capital, according to Abu Ali Express. The clips appear to show damage in both locations, though the extent of the destruction is not yet independently verified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Overnight footage from Iran, circulating on Israeli defense channels and cited by Abu Ali Express, shows areas struck by the US military in and around Tehran: the city of Karaj, west of the capital, and a second site southeast of Tehran. The clips appear to be the first visual confirmation of damage from what sources describe as a continuing US campaign of strikes against Iranian targets, which The Zioneer has been tracking since the initial wave. This development follows The Zioneer's report at 02:22 Jerusalem that strikes had expanded inland to Karaj and Qazvin, near Tehran, and a subsequent update at 03:53 Jerusalem noting fresh attacks in those areas.

The US campaign has expanded rapidly in recent hours. The Zioneer reported at 00:21 Jerusalem that Gulf sources reported a new US fighter squadron taking off from Jordan toward Iran. A second wave of strikes hit southern Iran around 02:18 Jerusalem. Iranian sources claimed strikes against US airfields in Iraqi Kurdistan at 01:49 Jerusalem, though those claims remain unverified. The footage from Karaj and southeast Tehran now provides visual corroboration of damage at sites previously reported as struck.

Background items in the Zioneer archive — an Iranian source describing US fighter and drone activity off the southern coast overnight (08:28 Jerusalem, June 10), an unverified report of strikes on Hengam Island (01:13 Jerusalem), and a reported strike on Kharg (04:00 Jerusalem) — provide wider context for the operation but are not directly linked to this specific footage. A separate bulletin from 06:58 Jerusalem noted IRGC ballistic missile launches from Zanjan toward Gulf bases, indicating the overall escalation is multi-directional.

What remains unclear is the specific nature of the targets in Karaj and southeast Tehran — whether military, industrial, or dual-use — and the extent of casualties or damage. The footage has not been geolocated or verified by independent sources.
