The Reuters news agency reports that the United States struck two Iranian army bases this morning. The report is from a single source and details on the location and extent of damage are not yet available.
The Reuters news agency reported this morning (Wednesday, 10:22 Jerusalem) that the United States struck two Iranian army bases, citing an unnamed source. The report comes after a night of sustained American airstrikes that were first reported as unverified massive strikes across Iran at 01:04 Jerusalem, and which the US military later confirmed were ongoing and expected to continue for hours.
The Zioneer's coverage of the night's events began at 01:04 Jerusalem: initial unverified footage showed strikes in southern Iran, with Iranian officials threatening retaliation. Shortly after, the Washington Post reported that CENTCOM strikes could continue for hours, and a CENTCOM official indicated the operations were expected to be wide in scope. By 01:04, a US military source told the New York Times that airstrikes were ongoing. The thread shows a progression from single-source, unverified claims to multiple newsroom confirmations, with the US military itself confirming the sustained campaign.
The current campaign, which began in late June, has targeted Iranian military infrastructure including air defenses, command centers, surveillance systems, and drone storage, as The Zioneer reported on June 28 citing a source familiar with the details. Earlier, on June 11, The Zioneer reported that Mehr news agency said US strikes hit seven sites on Iran's southern coast. The US has anticipated Iranian retaliation, as Axios reported on June 11.
The Reuters report this morning is based on a single unnamed source; the specific locations of the two army bases and the extent of damage have not been disclosed. Independent confirmation is still awaited.
