Iran's Press TV reports that the United States struck an industrial facility in the city of Khomein, central Iran. The report follows confirmation earlier this evening by a Markazi official that a factory in the city was hit. No details on damage or casualties are available.
Minutes after The Zioneer reported (19:35 Jerusalem) that a Markazi official confirmed a factory strike in Khomein, Iranian state media Press TV reported that the attack was carried out by the United States. The Press TV report did not specify the extent of damage or casualties.
The thread began Sunday morning (Jul 19, 10:26 Jerusalem) with initial reports of US strikes on Khomein. Within minutes, a Markazi official confirmed that a factory was hit, and local authorities confirmed no casualties. The Zioneer's 19:35 bulletin today reiterated the official confirmation.
The strike is the latest in a series of US attacks on Iranian military and industrial infrastructure. The Zioneer has reported strikes on the Khondab nuclear facility (Jul 13) and near the Bushehr nuclear plant (Jul 9), among others.
The US has not commented on the latest reports. The claim of US responsibility remains single-sourced from Iranian state media, unverified by independent sources.
