The US military announced it has begun a third consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets. President Donald Trump delivered a personal threat to Tehran, saying "Tell Tehran that we are coming," according to a statement attributed to the US military and Trump. The new wave follows two previous nights of attacks on Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
The US military announced early Tuesday that it had begun a third consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets. President Donald Trump, in a statement attributed alongside the military announcement, issued a direct threat to Tehran: "Tell Tehran that we are coming."
The announcement follows two earlier nights of US airstrikes against Iranian missile depots, radar sites, and other military infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported at 00:16 and 00:18 Jerusalem time. Those reports noted that US Central Command launched missiles from Bahrain toward Iran as part of the campaign.
The third night comes after President Trump declared earlier in June a policy of nightly strikes until an agreement is reached, and has repeatedly warned that the campaign will intensify. The specific targets in tonight's strikes have not been detailed.
This is a developing story.
