The US Army confirmed at approximately 07:34 Jerusalem time that the latest wave of airstrikes against Iranian military infrastructure, which lasted about five hours, has concluded. The statement provides no immediate details on damage or targets, and does not indicate whether further strikes are planned. This announcement follows a night in which The Zioneer reported successive waves of US operations: an initial wave of strikes reported around 04:10 Jerusalem and described by a Hebrew-language security source as a second wave targeting Iran's terror infrastructure; subsequent reports of strikes in southern Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and Qeshm Island; and a further wave that Iran's foreign ministry warned would exact a 'heavy price' from regional states. By 07:34, with the US confirmation, the desk has tracked at least three distinct waves of strikes since early Tuesday morning.
Earlier in the night, at roughly 04:10 Jerusalem, a single-source report described new explosions in southern Iran as the renewal of US airstrikes, which The Zioneer published as unverified. By 05:01 Jerusalem, multiple reports from i24NEWS and other outlets had corroborated strikes on specific locations, raising the sourcing from a single channel to several newsrooms. By the same hour, Iran's threat of a 'heavy price' appeared as an on-record government statement, shifting that element from an unverified claim to an attributed warning. The scale of the strikes and their precise targets remain unverified, as the US statement and Iranian media have not released detailed damage assessments.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure began with strikes on Bushehr and other southern targets on Wednesday, followed by multiple nights of operations. Iranian retaliatory launches toward US bases in Jordan and Kuwait, and sirens in Bahrain, were also documented over the past several days. The confirmation of Tuesday's five-hour wave marks the longest sustained round of strikes reported so far in the current escalation.
Several questions remain open: whether the US plans additional waves, what specific targets were struck in the five-hour campaign, and whether Iran will follow through on its threat of a 'heavy price' for regional states. No independent verification of damage or casualties inside Iran has been published.
