A further wave of American airstrikes struck targets in southern Iran, according to a Hebrew-language security source. The report, which cites ongoing military activity against the Iranian regime's terror infrastructure, is unverified and follows hours of sustained US strikes earlier this week. Iranian state media has not commented.
A Hebrew-language security source reported on Saturday night that additional US strikes were underway in southern Iran, according to a report carried by i24NEWS. The new report, which describes ongoing strikes against the Iranian regime's terror infrastructure, follows a sustained American campaign that has escalated in recent days. The precise locations, targets, and extent of the strikes remain unverified, and Iranian state media has not commented.
This is the latest in a series of reports The Zioneer has tracked since early June. Earlier Saturday evening, at 00:29 Jerusalem, explosions were reported near the port city of Sirik for the third time in weeks, with Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt reporting that an IRGC naval base and radar installations near the village of Taheruyi were hit. Goldblatt had also reported explosion sounds in the same area earlier in the evening, at the same timestamp, citing local reports. The new strikes appear to be a continuation of that wave, which itself followed days of sustained US airstrikes that The Zioneer reported on Thursday, June 11 — including a second wave of strikes targeting air defenses and command centers across southern Iran, and a third wave reported the same day by Reuters. By Friday, June 12, an observer noted that new explosion sites matched those hit in earlier US strikes. As The Zioneer reported, Fox News cited American officials on Friday, June 26, confirming that US strikes against Iranian targets were ongoing.
The wider context, as The Zioneer has reported, is a sustained American campaign against Iranian military infrastructure in southern Iran since early June, targeting air defense systems, radar arrays, naval bases, and command-and-control centers. An analyst cited by The Zioneer on June 11 assessed that the strikes aim to clear military installations that pose a threat, potentially laying the groundwork for a deployment of US ground forces on Iranian soil.
The credibility of the single source means this report remains unverified. No independent confirmation from US or Iranian officials has been published. It is also unclear whether the new strikes described represent a distinct wave or are part of the activity already reported earlier in the evening. Iranian state media has not commented on any of the recent reports.
