The US Army has launched daylight strikes against targets across Iran for the first time since the ceasefire, according to a single-source report Wednesday afternoon. The report says the military did not limit this round to southern Iran, contrary to earlier statements.
A single-source Hebrew-language report, posted at 13:30 Jerusalem, adds new details to the US Army's latest wave of strikes in Iran: the attacks are the first in daylight since the ceasefire, and the military did not limit them to southern Iran, striking targets across the country instead. The report has not been independently verified.
The Zioneer first reported unverified reports of a new wave at 13:23 Jerusalem. Minutes later, at 13:23, the US Army and CENTCOM officially confirmed the strikes. At 13:23, security analysts noted the shift to afternoon attacks for the first time in the campaign. The Zioneer then published a bulletin at 13:29 summarizing the US Army announcement. The current report, posted at 13:30, adds the daylight and geographic expansion details.
Previous rounds of US strikes in the current campaign were conducted at night and focused on southern Iran, as The Zioneer reported on June 11 and other dates. The shift to daytime operations and expanded geographic scope, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation.
The single-source report is unverified. No official confirmation from the US military or CENTCOM has been received regarding the expanded geographic scope or daylight timing. Iranian state media has not commented.
