According to regional reports, US airstrikes tonight are targeting Iranian military bases in the Ahvaz area, deeper inside Iran, marking a shift from previous days when most targets were along the Strait of Hormuz coast. The reports are unverified by official sources.
According to regional reports, US airstrikes tonight are focused on Iranian military bases near the city of Ahvaz in Khuzestan province, deeper inside Iran than most previous targets. This marks a tactical shift: the majority of US strikes in recent days have targeted Iranian positions along the Strait of Hormuz coast, as reported earlier today.
Earlier on Tuesday, The Zioneer reported that US strikes were hitting several areas in western Iran, including Mahshahr, Abdan, and Imam Khomeini port (14:37 Jerusalem). A regional assessment at 18:36 noted that the conflict remained within established boundaries. The Ahvaz area was also the site of reported power outages attributed to US strikes on Monday night.
The shift to targets deeper in Iran suggests a broadening of the US campaign, which a US official described on Monday night as still having 'hundreds of targets' along the Strait of Hormuz. The Ahvaz strikes, if confirmed, would represent the first reported US attacks on that city's military infrastructure, which includes bases linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The reports remain unverified by official US or Iranian sources.
