The U.S. Army offered additional details on the latest wave of strikes against Iran, stating that the operation targeted military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons depots, surveillance sites, and naval capabilities. The strikes were carried out using fighter jets, drones, and warships, according to N12 correspondent Assaf Rosenzweig.
The U.S. Army’s latest statement, as reported by N12 correspondent Assaf Rosenzweig, revealed that the seventh consecutive night of strikes against Iran was carried out using fighter jets, drones, and warships. The announcement, issued at 04:56 Jerusalem, specified that the wave targeted military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons depots, surveillance sites, and naval capabilities — adding the means of attack to the target details already disclosed.
Initial reports at 22:54 Jerusalem on Friday from i24NEWS, citing a source familiar with the details, said the strikes hit seven bridges and train stations. In the same timeframe, the U.S. Army confirmed the operation involved underground weapons depots, naval capabilities, and surveillance sites, according to three successive updates. By 04:56 Jerusalem, the army provided a more detailed target list that included logistics infrastructure and naval capabilities, now corroborated by the specification of the assets used.
As The Zioneer reported on July 16, the broader U.S. campaign against Iran has included strikes on command centers, missile sites, drones, and air defense systems. The navy has also maintained a siege with over 20 warships operating in the Middle East, as reported on July 14. A July 17 assessment noted that the U.S. has raised the threshold of attacks, though that claim remains unattributed.
The army did not disclose the precise locations of the strikes within Iran or provide damage assessments. The claim of an escalated threshold has not been confirmed by an official source.
