The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a new wave of strikes on Iranian military targets, which began at 17:30 Eastern Time (00:30 Jerusalem) on Thursday, under presidential direction. The operation aims to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian and commercial shipping in the region. This latest wave extends the sustained U.S. military campaign into its 13th consecutive night.
The Zioneer previously reported on the 12th consecutive night of strikes at 06:59 Jerusalem on Wednesday, July 22. Earlier reports on the 11th night and the initial wave of the campaign were also published at that time. Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has documented multiple CENTCOM operations, including a significant wave on July 17 that struck coastal radar sites, air defense systems, logistics infrastructure, and naval capabilities, as well as the 11th night on July 22, which targeted command centers and maritime assets.
The broader campaign, which began in early July, has been described by the Pentagon as a response to continued Iranian aggression, including attacks on over 30 commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM has released footage of previous operations and emphasized the precision nature of the strikes.
Specific targets of the new wave have not yet been detailed, and no immediate reports of casualties or damage have emerged. The Zioneer will continue to monitor developments.
