Fierce American airstrikes struck the city of Saravan in southeastern Iran, according to a single security-focused channel. No details on casualties, damage, or the specific targets have been reported.
US forces struck the city of Saravan in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province overnight, according to a single security-focused channel. The report, which describes the strikes as 'fierce', provides no further details on the targets, damage, or casualties. This development comes as the broader US campaign against Iranian targets continues to expand, with The Zioneer having reported earlier tonight (Tue 02:52 Jerusalem) on unconfirmed reports of several wounded in strikes across Iran.
The reported strike on Saravan follows a series of US airstrikes that have been tracked by The Zioneer since the campaign began. Earlier Monday (Mon Jul 13, 05:39 Jerusalem), CENTCOM announced it had completed a new wave of strikes hitting dozens of targets, including air-defense systems, coastal radar, missile and drone sites, and small boats, using sea drones for the first time. Subsequent reports that same morning confirmed strikes on Kish Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jask, Khuzestan Province, and Qeshm and Farur islands near the Strait of Hormuz. The campaign then expanded to central Iran with new strikes reported in Bandar Abbas, as The Zioneer covered at 05:39 Jerusalem. The IRGC claimed retaliatory attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response to the earlier wave.
As The Zioneer reported on Sun Jul 12, 19:54 Jerusalem, Iran has acknowledged approximately 10 military targets on Qeshm Island were damaged in recent US airstrikes. The broader context includes a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, with previous reported strikes in Bushehr province, Asaluyeh, and other locations, as The Zioneer has covered. The US military has emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor and that Iran does not control it, stating that US forces are prepared to ensure freedom of navigation.
The report of strikes on Saravan remains unverified, pending independent confirmation. No details on casualties, damage, or the specific targets have been reported, and the account comes from a single source.
