A security analyst reports a wave of US airstrikes overnight targeting Siri Island, Bushehr, Behbahan, Omidiyeh, Chabahar, Konarak, and Tabriz in southern Iran. Air defense systems were activated in eastern Tehran, and drones were reported over the capital. The strikes are part of a continued US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported in the early hours of Wednesday that a wave of US airstrikes hit targets in at least seven Iranian cities, including Sirik Island, Bushehr, Behbahan, Omidiyeh, Chabahar, Konarak, and Tabriz. The report also noted that air defense systems were activated in eastern Tehran and drones were observed over the capital. This is the latest in a sequence of reports throughout the night detailing the 11th consecutive night of US strikes against Iranian military infrastructure.
The Zioneer first reported the start of the 11th consecutive night of strikes at 02:33 Jerusalem, citing a CENTCOM announcement that the operation aimed to degrade Iran's maritime threats in the Strait of Hormuz. Subsequent updates at the same time included reports from the Arabic-language security channel Abu Saleh Desk describing strikes on Qeshm, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Tabriz, Nojeh Air Base, Parchin, and other sites, as well as Iranian reports of air defense activations in Tehran. The latest report from Goldblatt provides a more detailed city list and confirms the air defense activity in Tehran, consistent with the earlier accounts.
The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign that has been reported nightly since at least July 9, according to prior Zioneer reports. The campaign is focused on degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, as repeatedly stated by CENTCOM.
All reports remain unverified by independent sources. Iranian state media has not commented on the overnight strikes. No casualty figures or damage assessments have been published. The specific targets hit in each city remain unclear.
