The US military announced it has launched another wave of strikes in Iran, according to a statement. No details on targets or scope have been released. The announcement follows two earlier waves tonight, as The Zioneer reported at 22:17 and 22:22.
The US military announced tonight (Wednesday, 22:24 Jerusalem) that it has launched a third wave of strikes in Iran, according to a statement. No details on targets, scope, or duration have been released. The announcement follows two earlier waves tonight: the first reported at 22:17 Jerusalem, and a second confirmed at 22:22, which the US military said targeted military assets used to threaten vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The thread of reports began earlier today. At 15:55 Jerusalem, an unverified claim surfaced that US forces had destroyed the 92nd Armored Division in Ahvaz. Minutes later, The Zioneer reported that the US military had launched a wave of strikes, with explosions near the 92nd Armored Division base in Ahvaz, and additional reports of explosions in the Rasak district and alleged missile launches from Kuwait. Those reports were unverified at the time. By 22:17, The Zioneer reported a first wave of strikes tonight, followed by official US confirmation of a second wave at 22:22 targeting Strait of Hormuz assets. The third wave was announced at 22:24.
The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has intensified in recent days, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. At 14:58 Jerusalem, the US military said it had completed a wave of strikes bombing air defense systems and cruise missile depots.
The details of the third wave remain unverified. Iranian state media has not commented on any of tonight's strikes. The earlier reports of explosions in Ahvaz and Rasak have not been independently confirmed.
