Iranian state media has officially confirmed that the country is under attack. Separately, reports describe launches of US Tomahawk missiles toward targets inside Iran. Neither Iran nor the US has provided details on targets, launchers, or impacts. The reports follow a night of confirmed US strikes on Iranian targets.
At 21:41 UTC, Iranian state media officially confirmed the country is under attack — a significant escalation from the thread's earlier sourcing. This follows The Zioneer's report at 21:38 UTC, which noted that Iranian opposition sources had described missile launches from the Tabriz area and that official state media had stated 'the attacks in Iran have begun' — the first official acknowledgment. The thread had earlier reported at 21:31 UTC a missile launch from East Azerbaijan province based on a single source, later refined to Tabriz. The new confirmation from official Iranian media now marks a shift from reliance solely on opposition and unofficial reports.
Within minutes, separate reports claimed the launch of US Tomahawk missiles toward targets inside Iran. This claim echoes an unverified Iranian report cited a day earlier (June 9) by The Zioneer that Tomahawk missiles 'may have been launched' — again without specifying targets or launchers. As of this update, neither Iran nor the US has provided details on targets, launchers, or impacts.
Simultaneously, at 21:40 UTC, reports emerged of a ballistic missile launched from Iran targeting a US radar site in Erbil, northern Iraq, with explosions heard in the city — a claim The Zioneer reported as single-sourced and unverified, with no US or Iraqi confirmation. The developments come amid a night of military activity the US has stated is in response to an Iranian Apache helicopter incident that Tehran describes as a pretext. As The Zioneer reported at 20:56 UTC, Iran's Tasnim news agency had warned hours earlier that any US attack would prompt strikes on new American interests in the region.
The full scope of the current attack — number of missiles, specific targets, casualties — remains unverified. The Tomahawk and Erbil claims remain single-sourced; the official Iranian confirmation does not extend to the nature of the attack or its effects.
