Overnight US Central Command strikes in Iran targeted both newly-built Iranian installations and sites not previously struck, a source familiar with the details told i24NEWS. Among the targets were surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities.
A source familiar with the details told i24NEWS on Sunday morning that overnight US Central Command strikes in Iran hit both newly-built Iranian facilities and sites that had not been targeted in previous waves. The source enumerated targets including surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities. The strikes occurred as part of the continuing US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, following a sequence of US operations since at least 00:17 Jerusalem on Sunday, when The Zioneer first reported a wave of 10 strikes near the Strait of Hormuz.
The thread began with unverified reports (00:17 Jerusalem) of an attack on an IRGC naval base in Sirik, rapidly evolving through multiple channels: a senior US official confirmed active strikes, a security-focused channel reported 10 targets, and by 10:21 Jerusalem on Sunday, CENTCOM officially confirmed the strikes on 10 Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The current source provides a more detailed target set, including specific categories such as newly-built installations, surveillance, and drone storage — marking an escalation in the scope of reported targets.
Attributed background: As The Zioneer reported on June 10, CENTCOM previously conducted precision strikes across Iran targeting military surveillance, communication systems, and air defense sites. The campaign has included multiple waves of strikes, with Fox News reporting on June 26 that US strikes were still underway, and an analyst assessment on June 11 noting the strikes were limited to IRGC military assets.
The extent of damage from the latest strikes is not yet independently confirmed. The source did not provide specific locations or the number of installations struck, and the full target set beyond the categories named remains unclear.
