The US military announced that it struck command centers, missile sites, drones, air defense systems, and coastal surveillance installations. The announcement did not specify the location of the strikes.
The US Army issued a statement at 08:49 Jerusalem confirming it struck command centers, missile sites, drones, air defense systems, and coastal surveillance facilities, without specifying the location. The announcement follows a series of more detailed confirmations from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) earlier today.
The thread began at 04:26 Jerusalem with an unverified claim on X, reported by N12, of precision strikes on Iranian military targets including Bandar Abbas. CENTCOM then confirmed a 90-minute first wave targeting Tonb Island coastal defenses, followed by a second wave targeting command centers and air defenses in Bandar Abbas and other sites. A detailed target list was published on X.
The strikes are part of a broader U.S. campaign. As The Zioneer reported, an American official on June 28 stated that targets include IRGC coastal radars and anti-ship missile sites. Reports on July 8 indicated communications and command-and-control facilities were also struck. A source told i24NEWS on June 28 that newly built targets, including surveillance infrastructure and drone storage, were hit.
The US Army's latest statement did not specify the location, unlike earlier CENTCOM announcements that named Bandar Abbas and Tonb Island. Independent verification of the strikes' effects remains pending.
