The US military has officially announced it is conducting a new wave of strikes against targets in Iran, according to an official statement. The brief announcement, made in the early hours of Tuesday, did not specify the scale, location, or duration of the strikes.
This new operation follows a sustained campaign of American airstrikes against Iranian military infrastructure, which the Zioneer has reported on extensively since early June. As previously reported, the campaign began with strikes against air defense and coastal installations, and subsequently expanded to include deeper targets such as Dezful and Kermanshah, as well as the Bandar Abbas air base. The stated US objective has been to degrade the IRGC's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Details on the scope of the current wave and any immediate reports of damage or casualties are not yet available.
