US forces struck targets in Khuzestan province and near Tabriz during the 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, according to the US military. Iranian state media reported that air defense systems were activated in Tehran. The strikes mark the latest development of the 11th night, which was first reported at 02:33 Jerusalem when CENTCOM announced a new wave targeting the Strait of Hormuz to eliminate Iran's ability to fire on shipping.
The 11th night follows the 10th consecutive night reported on July 21 at 18:39 Jerusalem, which The Zioneer reported as hitting an underground missile city near Shiraz, as well as sites in Abadan and Chabahar. The campaign has expanded significantly since the first nights, which focused on the Strait of Hormuz and Bushehr. The US has confirmed striking over 90 targets on a single night earlier in the campaign.
The expansion to Khuzestan and Tabriz marks a new geographic phase, moving from central and southern Iran to the western and northwestern regions. Khuzestan is a key oil-producing province, and Tabriz is a major industrial city near the border with Turkey and Azerbaijan. The activation of air defenses in Tehran suggests the capital remains a potential target.
No casualty figures have been released, and the extent of damage to the targeted sites is unknown. The US military has not commented on the specific targets hit in this wave.
