According to reports, the overnight US strikes in Iran targeted air surveillance radars, missile and drone storage facilities, launch sites, naval surveillance radars, and surface-to-air missile launchers. In response, Iran launched missiles toward Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar, triggering sirens and explosions, and also fired missiles toward Jordan, which were intercepted, according to regional reports.
The overnight US strikes in Iran, first reported at 02:24 Jerusalem, evolved rapidly from unconfirmed reports of strikes in southern Iran to official US military confirmation of a wide-ranging campaign. By 02:24, a senior American official detailed targets including air surveillance radars, missile and drone storage facilities, launch sites, naval surveillance radars, and surface-to-air missile launchers. Further reports from Axios and Barak Ravid corroborated the target sets, citing multiple sources.
In response, Iran launched missiles toward Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan, according to regional reports. Sirens and explosions were reported in Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar, while Jordan reported interceptions of missiles. The retaliation marks a significant escalation of the overnight confrontation.
The Zioneer previously reported on the broader US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, including strikes on communications and command-and-control facilities on June 10, and earlier Iranian missile launches toward US bases in the region on the same date. The latest strikes and retaliation are part of this ongoing cycle.
The extent of damage from the US strikes and any casualties remain unconfirmed. It is also unclear whether Iran's missile fire caused any damage or casualties in the Gulf states or Jordan.
