According to a report, the United States has opened a second wave of strikes against Iran tonight, targeting military capabilities that threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes were reportedly ordered by the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces.
According to reports that emerged at 22:08 Jerusalem on Wednesday evening, the United States launched a second wave of strikes against Iran, targeting military capabilities that threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The reports came minutes after US Central Command confirmed a first wave of strikes tonight at 22:08 Jerusalem, following initial reports of explosions in southern Iran.
The development is the latest in a sequence of US strikes reported by The Zioneer throughout Wednesday. At 13:26 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported on a wave of strikes based on unverified reports of renewed aerial activity. At 22:08 Jerusalem, initial reports of explosions in southern Iran, attributed by IRGC-affiliated media to US strikes, were followed by a CENTCOM statement confirming a new wave. Within minutes, reports emerged of a second wave targeting Strait of Hormuz capabilities. The sourcing evolved from IRGC-affiliated claims to official US confirmation for the first wave, while the second wave report remains unverified.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign to secure the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian threats to international shipping. As The Zioneer reported on July 8, the US military announced strikes on Iran to guarantee freedom of navigation. On July 13, a new wave was announced focusing on Iranian forces in the strait. The campaign has included strikes on air defenses, radar systems, and maritime infrastructure, as documented in previous reports.
Details of the current wave — including specific targets, scale, and any casualties — remain unconfirmed. No official US or Iranian statement has been released regarding the second wave. The report is based on a single unverified source.
