The US military said it struck 90 Iranian military targets including air defense, missile and drone storage, naval capabilities, and logistics infrastructure, calling the operation the widest wave of strikes since the ceasefire. The statement follows a series of reported US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure over recent weeks.
The US military early Thursday morning described its latest wave of strikes on Iran as 'the widest wave of strikes since the ceasefire,' following a sequence of reports and confirmations that began overnight. The statement, which did not specify a precise time, came after CENTCOM had already confirmed at 06:38 Jerusalem that 90 targets had been hit along the Iranian coast, including air defense, coastal surveillance, and naval logistics.
As The Zioneer tracked from the start of the night, initial reports of explosions along the coast emerged at 00:08 Jerusalem, first from Iranian state media and then from a source claiming widespread bombing. By 00:08, multiple CENTCOM confirmations followed, detailing strikes on 90 targets, including missile and drone storage, naval assets, and logistics infrastructure. A separate report at 00:08 noted that the previous day's wave had struck about 80 targets. At 06:11 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the strikes had targeted coastal infrastructure, and at 06:38, CENTCOM released footage showing the damaged Chabahar maritime traffic control tower.
The new characterization as 'the widest wave since the ceasefire' — a term that appears to refer to the de facto halt in US-Iran hostilities following the initiation of the US campaign in June 2026 — underscores the scale of the ongoing operation. As The Zioneer has reported, the US campaign has included strikes on surveillance, communication, and drone storage facilities, as well as analysis suggesting the escalation is deliberate.
The US military statement did not specify the precise locations or timing of the strikes, nor did it mention any Iranian response or damage assessment. No independent verification of the strikes' effects was immediately available.
