A senior US official told Fox News that additional waves of strikes are expected tonight, as reported by journalist Yair Goldblatt. This statement, made anonymously, comes amid the ongoing US air campaign 'Operation Epic Fury' against IRGC infrastructure in Iran. It follows a series of reports throughout the evening: at 21:05 UTC, multiple thread items detailed waves of strikes across southern Iran, with a later entry at 21:05 UTC citing a US official saying the wave would target 'hundreds of sites' and continue for hours. The official's latest remarks indicate the campaign is set to persist through the night, in line with those earlier statements.
The thread began at 21:05 UTC with reports of strikes on Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas, which evolved into confirmations by US Central Command (CENTCOM) of 'additional self-defense strikes' at 21:53 UTC, and a background item reported a US official saying a new wave would hit 'hundreds of targets' across southern Iran. Over the course of the thread, source reliability increased from single-sourced Telegram reports to on-record CENTCOM statements and named official briefings, though the latest report remains single-sourced from an anonymous official.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, CENTCOM confirmed what it called 'additional self-defense strikes' at around 21:53 UTC, and a background interest bulletin noted a US official saying a new wave would hit 'hundreds of targets' across southern Iran. The context of sustained military pressure is consistent with President Trump's reported statements about potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure, as previously noted in The Zioneer's reporting.
No further details on specific target areas or the precise scope of the coming waves were provided. The report is single-sourced from an anonymous official and has not been independently confirmed by other outlets or official channels.
