Fox News reports that American strikes on Iran have concluded for tonight, according to an unverified single report. No further details from US officials are yet available.
Fox News reported shortly after 01:10 Sunday (Jerusalem time) that US strikes on Iran have ended for tonight, citing a single unverified source. The report marks the first media claim of a conclusion to what had been an hours-long American operation against Iranian military infrastructure — but no official US confirmation of an overall end to the night's activity has yet been released.
This development follows an evening in which US Central Command announced the completion of a specific strike wave at 07:33 Jerusalem on Saturday, targeting radar, air defense systems, and drone storage facilities in response to an earlier missile attack on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Subsequent CENTCOM updates confirmed strikes against surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defenses, drone storage sites, and minelayer capabilities. The Zioneer has also reported that a senior US official confirmed to Channel 12 that strikes had ended, at 00:52 Jerusalem earlier this morning.
The broader US air campaign in Iran has been unfolding for weeks. As The Zioneer reported on Friday, Fox News itself had reported that strikes were still ongoing Friday night. A separate Zioneer bulletin on Wednesday quoted analyst Yair Goldblatt saying the first wave of strikes had concluded, with additional waves expected.
It remains unclear whether tonight's reported conclusion reflects the end of the entire operation or the close of a discrete wave, and no official US statement has characterized the overall operational status.
