US fighter jets struck targets across multiple axes in Iran overnight, including IRGC bases, petrochemical facilities, and missile storage sites, according to Iranian officials and local reports. Deputy governors in Khuzestan and Hamadan confirmed strikes on the Noujeh airbase and on outskirts of Behbehan and Amidieh. The strikes were concentrated in southwestern Iran, with additional hits in the central-west, southeast, and northwest axes.
The US military carried out a broad wave of airstrikes across Iran overnight between July 21–22, using fighter jets to strike military and infrastructure targets on multiple geographic axes, according to Iranian officials and local reports. Deputy governors in Khuzestan and Hamadan provinces confirmed that the Noujeh airbase in Hamadan was struck, as well as targets on the outskirts of Behbehan and Amidieh. The strikes were concentrated in southwestern Iran, with reports of at least 15 explosions in the Behbehan area alone, targeting petrochemical facilities and IRGC bases. Additional strikes hit the port city of Bandar Abbas, the Kangavar missile base, and sites in Zanjan, Nahaavand, and Sirik. In southeastern Iran, strikes were reported in Chabahar and Konarak, while in the northwest, explosions were heard in Tabriz and an American intelligence structure reportedly collapsed in Arbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.
The strikes mark a significant escalation in the US-Iran conflict, as the US continues to target Iranian military capabilities. The Zioneer has previously reported on US strikes in Iran, including operations against IRGC bases and drone positions in Bushehr, as well as broader campaigns across multiple provinces. The claims in this report are based on Iranian official statements and local media, and have not been independently verified by Western sources.
The full extent of damage and casualties remains unclear, as Iranian authorities have not released comprehensive casualty figures.
