US military confirms striking 90 Iranian targets, calls it broadest wave since ceasefire

The US military said Thursday morning it struck about 90 Iranian military targets overnight, including air defense systems, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and logistics infrastructure. It described the operation as the broadest wave of strikes since the ceasefire with Iran.

The US military confirmed Thursday morning that it struck approximately 90 Iranian military targets overnight, describing the operation as the broadest wave of strikes since the ceasefire. The statement, which listed air defense systems, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and logistics infrastructure, came after a night of multiple official announcements from US Central Command (CENTCOM) that had been reporting the strikes in real-time.

The Zioneer's coverage of the overnight strikes began at 00:08 Jerusalem, when CENTCOM first confirmed hitting 90 targets, including air defense systems. Subsequent updates throughout the night detailed the types of targets struck and noted that the two-day total reached 170 targets. By 00:08, CENTCOM had already described the operation as the widest wave since the ceasefire. The thread also reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) retaliated against Bahrain, and that President Trump said Iran had requested a deal, while a US official stated the ceasefire had ended, at least temporarily.

The strikes are part of a sustained US military campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has been ongoing for weeks, as The Zioneer has reported. The campaign escalated after the downing of a US Apache helicopter and has included strikes on air defense, naval assets, and logistics sites.

The extent of damage and potential casualties from the latest strikes remains unconfirmed, and the status of the ceasefire between the US and Iran is unclear following the US official's statement that it had ended, at least temporarily.
