The U.S. military announced early Thursday that it completed a wave of strikes against Iran, stating it bombed dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets, according to CENTCOM and Israeli media reports.
Reports of US strikes on Iran began surfacing shortly after 02:00 Jerusalem time on Thursday, with multiple Israeli media outlets citing US officials. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) later confirmed the operation, stating that American forces conducted a series of intense strikes against dozens of IRGC targets across Iran, including command-and-control centers, missile facilities, and UAV infrastructure. CENTCOM said the strikes were a direct response to an attempted Iranian ballistic missile attack on US forces on July 28, which was successfully intercepted. At approximately 05:27 Jerusalem time, CENTCOM announced that the wave of strikes had been completed. The operation follows a six-day pause in the ongoing US air campaign against Iran, which has seen consecutive nights of precision strikes since early July. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, the renewed strikes mark the first kinetic action since the pause and underscore the continued US commitment to degrading Iranian military capabilities.
