Initial reports indicate that Iran launched an anti-ship cruise missile from the city of Shiraz, reportedly targeting US assets. No details on interceptions or impacts are yet available. The launch follows a series of similar reports in recent weeks.
At 00:42 Jerusalem time, initial reports emerged of an anti-ship cruise missile launch from the Iranian city of Shiraz, reportedly aimed at US vessels. The report is unverified; no information on the missile's flight path, interceptions, or impacts is available.
The launch comes just hours after a Monday evening report (July 13, 22:31 Jerusalem) that Iranian forces attempted to target US warships with ballistic cruise missiles, as The Zioneer reported. That report also remained unverified.
Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has tracked a series of reported Iranian cruise missile launches toward US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, including launches from Bandar Abbas and Shiraz. US forces have conducted airstrikes on Iran's southern coast in response, and the situation remains volatile.
The current report is based on a single source and has not been confirmed by US or Israeli officials. No details on the missile's type, target, or outcome are available.
