Iranian opposition channels report that most US strikes in the latest wave are concentrated in the Ahvaz province of southern Iran, alongside coastal targets. The strikes were preceded by launches toward the US embassy in Erbil, Iraq, and launches from Iran toward US targets in Bahrain, according to security journalist Hananel Aviv.
At 23:03 Jerusalem, security journalist Hananel Aviv reported, citing Iranian opposition channels, that the United States has launched a new wave of strikes in southern Iran, with most strikes concentrated in the Ahvaz province and along coastal targets. The strikes were preceded by launches toward the US embassy in Erbil, Iraq, and launches from Iran toward US targets in Bahrain, according to the same report. This marks the latest escalation in a night of sustained US operations.
The thread began at 15:55 Jerusalem with an unverified claim that US forces had destroyed the 92nd Armored Division in Ahvaz. By 22:29 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the US Army had announced a new wave of strikes targeting power grids in Ahvaz, as confirmed by i24NEWS. A further wave was announced at 22:57 Jerusalem, with operations again concentrated in southern Iran. The current report adds a new element—the launches preceding the strikes—and relies on Iranian opposition channels, which have previously provided reports that match official US announcements.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported in previous coverage of waves targeting air defenses, command centers, and bases in the Ahvaz area. Earlier this week, reports indicated a shift in focus to deeper targets inside Iran.
Iranian state media has not commented on the strikes or the reported launches. The claims of launches from Iran toward Bahrain and toward the US embassy in Erbil remain unverified, and no details on casualties or damage have been released.
