The United States has completed a wave of airstrikes against Iranian military targets, including air defense facilities and missile sites, according to Israeli media reports.
Israeli media reported early Sunday that the United States completed a wave of airstrikes against Iranian air defense facilities and missile sites. The report, citing ynet, comes hours after the U.S. military announced at 01:27 Jerusalem that it had completed the eighth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, hitting a broader set of targets including coastal surveillance, naval capabilities, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces responsible for the attack on U.S. soldiers in Jordan.
The U.S. military's Sunday announcement detailed the eighth night of strikes, which followed seven previous nights of sustained aerial bombardment. CENTCOM confirmed the strikes targeted Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and were retaliation for the Jordan attack that killed two U.S. troops and left one missing. The new Israeli media report aligns with those earlier statements, focusing specifically on air defense and missile sites.
The Zioneer has reported on the U.S. campaign over recent weeks, including previous waves of strikes that struck dozens of military targets. The current campaign has expanded to include direct retaliation for the Jordan attack, as the U.S. vowed to quickly punish those responsible. The strikes mark the eighth consecutive night of direct U.S.-Iran military confrontation.
The Israeli media report provides no new details on the scale of the strikes, specific locations, or casualty figures. No independent confirmation has been received from Iranian sources, and the extent of damage remains unclear.
