01 · THE DISPATCH

Another US fighter squadron has taken off from a base in Jordan toward Iran, according to Gulf sources cited in a single-source Telegram report on Wednesday evening. The brief report did not specify the type of aircraft, the exact base in Jordan, or the squadron's intended mission, but follows hours of reported US aerial activity against Iran — including multiple B-52 bombers departing Diego Garcia and reports that the US has already initiated strikes against Iran, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The same Telegram report notes explosions in Tehran, though no additional details, casualty figures, or official confirmation from Iranian or US sources have emerged. The reported flight adds to a pattern of intensifying US military movements in the region since the start of what US officials have described as a major offensive. The Gulf sources' account remains unverified by independent corroboration at this time.
