The U.S. military announced it struck dozens of military targets in Iran overnight, concentrating on the Strait of Hormuz area including Qeshm Island, Kish Island, Bushehr, and Bandar Abbas, according to an official statement. The latest round continues the ongoing American air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, now in its third week.
The U.S. military confirmed early Thursday morning that it struck dozens of military targets in Iran overnight, with the operation concentrated in the strategic Strait of Hormuz corridor. The targets included positions on Qeshm Island and Kish Island, as well as the coastal cities of Bushehr and Bandar Abbas, and extended into Khuzestan and Fars provinces, according to an official statement. This marks the latest wave in the ongoing U.S. air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, now in its third week.
The strikes follow a six-day pause in operations. The Zioneer first reported the resumption of strikes at 00:48 Jerusalem, when initial reports indicated a new wave of attacks. The same hour, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) officially confirmed the strikes and noted the operational pause. Reports then emerged of strikes in Sirik city (Hormozgan province) and Fars province. The new official statement expands the scope, detailing dozens of targets and specifying the Strait of Hormuz focus.
The campaign began in mid-July after Iranian attacks on American forces and maritime assets, as The Zioneer has reported. Previous nights have targeted air defenses, missile batteries, coastal radar, and naval assets across Iran, including in the same geographic areas. The strikes have steadily expanded in scope and intensity.
No casualty figures or damage assessments have been provided for this latest round. The announcement follows the pattern of previous CENTCOM statements, which described the operations as precision strikes against military infrastructure.
