The U.S. military has launched a seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran. According to i24NEWS, citing a source familiar with the details, the strikes hit seven bridges and train stations.
The U.S. Central Command's seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran, which began at 22:00 Jerusalem tonight, hit seven bridges and train stations, according to i24NEWS citing a source familiar with the operation. The report, which The Zioneer relayed at 22:54 Jerusalem, adds specific targeting details to the already announced wave of strikes.
The Zioneer first reported the launch of the seventh night at 22:54 Jerusalem, based on a CENTCOM statement. That statement said the strikes aimed to further degrade Iran's military capabilities per the commander-in-chief's directive. The new detail from i24NEWS marks the first specific target information for this night. Previous nights in the campaign have been documented by The Zioneer: the sixth night (Fri 05:39 Jerusalem) targeted coastal radar, air defenses, and naval capabilities; the fourth night (Wed Jul 15, 08:06 Jerusalem) saw strikes expand to Kurdistan and Khuzestan, with Iranian retaliation against Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The campaign has also included strikes on power grids in Ahvaz (Wed Jul 15, 22:29 Jerusalem) and a five-hour wave across six Iranian sites (Tue Jul 14, 11:49 Jerusalem).
The Zioneer has reported that the U.S. strikes are part of an escalating direct kinetic conflict between Washington and Tehran, following a week of sustained operations. The CENTCOM statements have consistently described the strikes as aimed at degrading Iranian military capabilities, but have not detailed specific target sets for each night.
The i24NEWS report is based on a single source familiar with the details, and CENTCOM has not yet confirmed that bridges and train stations were specifically targeted. The extent of damage to each of the seven sites remains unverified.
