Security analyst Yair Goldblatt asserted in a post on X that Iran has fired at American targets for the first time since President Trump ordered a halt to US strikes on Iran. Goldblatt noted that Iran had previously claimed it would maintain a 'silence will be answered with silence' policy, and questioned why Tehran broke that equation.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X early Wednesday, asserting that Iran has fired at U.S. targets for the first time since President Trump ordered a halt to American strikes on Iran. Goldblatt wrote that after Washington stopped its strikes, Tehran had claimed it would also hold fire under a 'silence will be answered with silence' equation. He questioned why Iran now appears to have broken that understanding.
The post comes 33 minutes after The Zioneer published a bulletin noting Goldblatt's earlier questioning of the same mutual restraint assumption. The analyst's new claim — if confirmed — would represent a significant escalation in the U.S.-Iran military dynamic, which has seen waves of American strikes on Iranian targets followed by a period of quiet after Trump's halt order, as The Zioneer reported on July 25.
The details of the alleged Iranian fire — the target, the weapon used, and any damage — were not provided in the post. Goldblatt's assessment is based on his own analysis and has not been independently verified.
