The US military announced Thursday morning that it struck 90 military targets in Iran overnight, including air defense systems, maritime surveillance and tracking equipment, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and logistical infrastructure along the coast.
The US military officially confirmed Thursday morning that it struck approximately 90 military targets in Iran overnight, releasing a detailed breakdown of the target set. In a statement, the military said the targets included air defense systems, maritime surveillance and tracking equipment, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and logistical infrastructure along Iran's coast. The confirmation, at 09:19 Jerusalem, follows earlier reports of the strike campaign.
The Zioneer first reported the strikes at 07:56 Jerusalem based on a single-source report that approximately 90 targets had been hit. Within minutes, at 07:56 Jerusalem, a US official confirmed the scale of the operation and stated that the ceasefire was over, at least temporarily. By 09:06 Jerusalem, The Zioneer had published an article covering President Trump's comments that Iran had called for a deal and that the US hit them '20 times harder,' as well as IRGC retaliatory strikes on Bahrain. The military's official confirmation now provides the first detailed target list from the Pentagon.
The overnight strikes are the latest phase in a sustained US air campaign against Iran. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, the US struck Iran with 49 Tomahawk missiles, and on June 28, CENTCOM confirmed strikes on 10 Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The campaign has expanded in scope, with the current wave hitting targets across the country.
The extent of damage and any Iranian casualties have not yet been reported. The official confirmation does not address the effectiveness of the strikes or any Iranian response to this specific wave.
