The US opened a new wave of airstrikes on Iran about an hour ago, reportedly broader than last night's operations, according to unverified reports. Explosions were reported near the Bushehr nuclear power plant and on Lavani Island, which hosts significant oil facilities.
The United States has launched a new, broader wave of airstrikes against Iran, with reports emerging around 22:30 Jerusalem of explosions near the Bushehr nuclear power plant and on Lavani Island, a key oil infrastructure hub. The development follows a US official's confirmation at 23:25 Jerusalem — reported by i24NEWS — that tonight's strikes are more extensive than the previous night's operations, marking a significant escalation in the American campaign.
The Zioneer first reported US strikes across multiple targets in Iran at 22:46 Jerusalem. That initial wave was followed by the current broader strikes, which a US official later described as more extensive than the previous night's operations. The reports of strikes near Bushehr and Lavan Island add new targets to the campaign, which began earlier this evening.
The escalation comes amid a sustained US air campaign against Iranian air defenses and command infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported on Wednesday at 00:19 Jerusalem, when US strikes hit southern Iran. The wider context includes Iranian ballistic missile launches toward US bases in the Gulf region, reported by The Zioneer on June 11, and ongoing regional tensions.
The reports of the latest strikes remain unverified, originating from Telegram channels and a single source. No independent confirmation of damage, casualties, or the specific targets has been received. The extent of the new wave and its impact on Iran's nuclear and oil infrastructure remain unclear.
