Reports early Tuesday indicated that the United States has begun a fresh wave of strikes against Iran, with footage circulating from Bandar Abbas showing explosions in the southern port city. The claims have not been officially confirmed by the Pentagon or Iranian authorities, and the nature of the targets remains unclear. The Zioneer has documented an ongoing US aerial campaign against Iranian military infrastructure over recent weeks, including strikes on air bases, air defenses, and command centers in southern Iran. If verified, tonight's reported strikes would extend that campaign into a new phase.
