The US military says it struck Iranian air-defense systems, missile and drone sites, and naval capabilities in a five-hour wave that targeted Bushehr, Chabahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa Island, and Bandar Abbas. The statement provides the first detailed target list after the completion of the operation.
At 08:12 Jerusalem, the US Army released a detailed target list for the five-hour wave of strikes that concluded earlier Tuesday, specifying that air-defense systems, missile and drone sites, and naval capabilities were hit in Bushehr, Chabahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa Island, and Bandar Abbas. The statement, cited by Israeli media, says precision munitions were used. This is the first Army-issued breakdown of the operation, which the Pentagon announced had begun at 00:13 Tuesday.
The Zioneer reported at 05:53 Jerusalem that US Central Command said it had completed the same wave and struck those locations, with Iran retaliating against bases in Bahrain and Jordan and hitting two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. A subsequent US Army statement at 07:36 Jerusalem confirmed the wave had ended but provided no immediate details on damage or targets. The new release fills in that gap, offering the specific target categories and confirming the locations.
The strikes are part of an ongoing US aerial campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the US struck 90 targets on Wednesday night and more than 80 the night before, with a cumulative tally exceeding 170 targets over two days, according to the New York Times. The current wave appears to be a new phase launched after successive nights of operations.
No casualty figures or damage assessments have been released by either side. Iran has not yet commented on this specific wave.
