The US military officially announced it has launched another wave of strikes in Iran, according to a statement. Reports from Iran describe a large column of smoke near the 92nd Division headquarters in Ahvaz and four strong explosions in the Rasak district in the southeast. Separately, Iranian sources claim the US fired surface-to-surface missiles from Kuwait. The reports are unverified; no details on targets or casualties are available.
The US military officially confirmed a new wave of strikes in Iran at 15:55 Jerusalem on Wednesday, shortly after initial reports of explosions near the 92nd Armored Division base in Ahvaz. The statement described the operation as ongoing. By 22:24 Jerusalem, Iranian sources added reports of four strong explosions in the Rasak district in southeastern Iran, near the Pakistani border, and claimed the US fired surface-to-surface missiles from Kuwait — both unverified claims not included in the earlier US statement.
The desk first tracked reports of an attack on the 92nd Armored Division at 15:55 Jerusalem, when a single unverified claim said the unit had been destroyed. The US military's own confirmation of strikes near the same base followed at the same minute, upgrading the story from a lone claim to an official US acknowledgment of operations in the area. The latest reports of explosions in Rasak and alleged missile launches from Kuwait broaden the geographic scope of the operation, but remain unattributed to any official source.
The reported location in Rasak, near the Pakistani border, is far from Ahvaz and extends the potential reach of US operations deeper into Iran. As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday at 22:17 Jerusalem, a second wave of strikes had already been confirmed by US Central Command earlier in the day, following sustained operations against air defenses and command centers. The current wave appears to be part of that same continued campaign.
What remains open: all details about targets, damage, and casualties are unverified. The claim of missile launches from Kuwait — which would represent a significant operational escalation — has no independent confirmation. Iranian state media has not commented on the latest explosions, and no official source has corroborated the Rasak reports.
