Reports indicate that the US military began a new wave of strikes against Iranian targets. The operation comes shortly after President Trump threatened to strike Iranian power plants. Details on targets and scope are not yet available.
The 12th consecutive night of U.S. strikes on Iran is now underway, with CENTCOM confirming at 00:30 Jerusalem that American forces are targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) positions and capabilities used to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The operation follows President Trump's recent threats to strike Iranian power plants, as reported by The Zioneer earlier this week.
The current wave, first reported by a Hebrew-language security source, was quickly confirmed by the U.S. military. The thread shows that within minutes, CENTCOM issued statements confirming the 12th straight night of strikes and specifying that the targets are IRGC assets. Earlier reports from the same night indicated a focus on southern Iran, which aligns with the broader campaign pattern.
The campaign has been ongoing since early June, with The Zioneer reporting on multiple waves of strikes, including on air defenses, command infrastructure, and power grids. Background context includes a Jul 15 report that the U.S. targeted power grids in Ahvaz, and a Jul 13 Pentagon confirmation of renewed offensive operations. The strikes are part of the U.S. effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz and degrade Iran's military capabilities.
As of this report, the scope and specific targets of the latest wave remain unclear, and Iranian state media has not commented. The exact number of sorties and damage assessments are not yet available.
