Following the Washington Post report at 01:13 that CENTCOM strikes may continue for hours, a new report indicates the operations are expected to be wide and significant in scope. The report comes amid the ongoing U.S. military campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure, which began in late June.
A new report indicates that U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to continue its operations against Iran with a wide and significant scope. The report comes after the Washington Post, citing American officials, reported at 01:13 Jerusalem that the airstrikes may continue for hours. Earlier, at 01:04 Jerusalem, an unverified report claimed massive US strikes across Iran, and at the same time reports emerged of strikes in southern Iran and Iranian threats of retaliation.
The Zioneer first reported the unverified claim of massive strikes at 01:04 Jerusalem. Shortly after, the Washington Post's report at 01:13 Jerusalem added detail on the expected duration of the campaign. The new report now suggests the operations will be broad in scale, though specific targets and timeline remain unspecified.
The US campaign, which began in late June after a drone attack on an oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, has involved multiple waves of airstrikes targeting Iranian command-and-control, air defense, and drone infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed earlier that the US would strike Iran 'hard' and key facilities.
What remains open: the new report's sourcing is not attributed, and no official confirmation of the scope or timeline of future operations has been released. The Zioneer continues to monitor.
