Reports early Tuesday indicate massive American airstrikes underway across southern and central Iran, expanding the campaign beyond the southern coastal areas. Footage circulating on social media shows attacks in Bandar Abbas. The scale and targets of the new wave are not yet independently confirmed.
The United States is conducting a new wave of massive airstrikes across southern and central Iran, according to reports early Tuesday, with footage circulating on social media showing attacks in the key port city of Bandar Abbas. The strikes mark a significant expansion of the campaign, which until now had focused primarily on southern coastal provinces and military infrastructure. The current reports describe the strikes as "massive" and extend to central Iran, though no specific locations in central Iran have been named yet.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight at 00:57 Jerusalem, previous strikes hit Kish Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jask, and Khuzestan Province, as well as Qeshm and Farur islands. That wave was the latest in a sustained campaign. Prior to that, at 05:39 Jerusalem Monday, a series of reports detailed: CENTCOM confirmed strikes on dozens of targets including sea drones (version 1); the US military announced completion of the wave and asserted freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz (version 2); strikes targeted air defense systems, coastal radar, missile and drone sites, and small boats (version 3); the IRGC claimed retaliatory attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain (version 4); and strikes on Kish, Qeshm, Farur, and Khuzestan were confirmed (version 5). The corroboration evolved from initial social media reports to official CENTCOM statements.
As The Zioneer reported on Jun 11, 03:59 Jerusalem, the US launched widespread airstrikes across all of Iran, marking a dramatic expansion after days of attacks focused on southern coastal provinces. The campaign has since been ongoing, with the stated goal of degrading Iran's ability to disrupt commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. A US official confirmed to Fox News on Jun 11, 02:16 Jerusalem that strikes were ongoing, and the US Army confirmed a new wave on Jul 13, 00:42 Jerusalem.
No official confirmation from the Pentagon or Iranian authorities has been issued for the current wave. The extent of damage, casualties, and the specific targets in central Iran remain unverified. The scale of the new wave — described as "massive" — is based on reports from the region and social media footage.
