A source familiar with the details told i24NEWS that the overnight strikes by U.S. Central Command hit targets in Iran that were both newly built and previously unstruck. The strikes reportedly included surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities, according to Amichai Stein's reporting.
A source familiar with the overnight U.S. operations in Iran told i24NEWS that CENTCOM's strikes hit targets that were both newly constructed and previously unattacked. The strikes reportedly included surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities.
This update refines the thread's earlier details. As The Zioneer reported at 00:48 Jerusalem, CENTCOM had announced a second consecutive night of strikes targeting communications systems, mine-laying capabilities, surveillance infrastructure, air defense sites, and drone storage facilities. A subsequent Zioneer bulletin at 00:55 Jerusalem, citing the same source, already indicated that CENTCOM had expanded its kinetic response to include installations not previously targeted in southern Iran. The source's latest remarks add that the targets were newly built and previously unstruck, reinforcing the thread's continuity.
The U.S. military campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, which has spanned several weeks, has evolved to target increasingly specific capabilities, as The Zioneer has reported on earlier operations including strikes on Iranian communications and command-and-control facilities (June 10) and further precision strikes across Iran (June 11).
The scope of damage from this wave remains unconfirmed.
