A source corrected earlier reports that the US military conducted its first daylight strike on Iran since the ceasefire, clarifying that the operation was actually the first wave of daylight strikes. The distinction matters for understanding the scale of the operation, according to the source.
At 13:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported unverified reports of a new US strike wave in Iran. Within minutes, the operation was confirmed by the US Army and CENTCOM, with reports noting a shift to afternoon daylight hours for the first time in the campaign and an expansion beyond southern Iran. A source has now clarified that the operation is not a single daylight strike but the first wave of daylight strikes since the ceasefire, indicating a broader scope than previously understood.
The thread evolved from an unverified report (version 1, 13:23) to official confirmation by the US military and CENTCOM (version 2, 13:23). Subsequent updates noted the shift to afternoon timing (version 3, 13:23) and the expansion beyond southern Iran (version 4, 13:23). The new clarification, provided by a single source, raises the assessed scale of the operation but remains unconfirmed by official channels.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, US strikes on Iran have included waves in southern Iran, with a second wave reported on June 11 (Thu 02:18 Jerusalem) and an analyst noting the first wave had concluded. The current operation marks the first daylight wave since the ceasefire and extends beyond the southern focus of previous waves.
The source did not specify the number of targets or the duration of the wave. The report relies on a single source, and Iranian state media has not commented.
