TL;DR

Keren Bezalel reports that the US Army has confirmed a new wave of airstrikes against targets in Iran. Sapir Lipkin reports that Iranian media describe explosions in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas and on Kish Island. The reports follow a sustained campaign of US strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The US military has confirmed it has begun a new wave of airstrikes against targets in Iran, according to Israeli journalist Keren Bezalel. The confirmation came at 00:28 Jerusalem. Shortly after, at 00:30, Sapir Lipkin reported that Iranian media described explosions in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas and on Kish Island, indicating strikes are ongoing.

This new wave follows a sustained campaign of US strikes against Iranian air defenses and command centers, as The Zioneer has reported over the past weeks. Earlier at 00:17, Iranian media reported a series of explosions across the country, and the US military confirmed the new wave minutes later.

The reports are based on single sources — the US Army confirmation via Bezalel and Iranian media reports via Lipkin — and remain unverified by independent outlets. Casualty figures, the extent of damage, and any official Iranian response are not yet reported.
