01 · THE DISPATCH

The overnight US Central Command strikes targeted approximately 90 Iranian military sites, including two railway bridges in northern and eastern Iran — the first time bridges have been struck in the campaign. The strikes hit air defense systems, coastal observation posts, missile and drone storage facilities, and naval logistics infrastructure along Iran's Persian Gulf coast, according to CENTCOM. Iranian official sources report at least three killed.

As The Zioneer reported at 06:11 Jerusalem, US Special Operations Command confirmed the Wednesday strikes, and at 07:19 Jerusalem a senior US official confirmed that the two railway bridges were struck by cruise missiles. The strikes follow a wave of 80 targets hit Tuesday night, bringing the two-day total to about 170 targets. Opposition sources in Iran assessed that the strikes were more intense than those during Operation Roaring Lion, the US-Israel campaign in February 2026. The US has warned that further strikes will continue in response to Iranian ceasefire violations and attacks on merchant shipping.

The confirmation of the railway bridge strikes marks a new phase in the campaign, as the US appears to be expanding its target set to include transportation infrastructure. The specific impact on Iranian logistics and the full extent of damage remain unverified from independent sources.
