The US military announced early Sunday that it completed the latest wave of strikes against Iran, hitting coastal surveillance installations, air defense systems, naval capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites, according to Yediot news. The statement said the strikes aim to continue degrading the Iranian regime's military capabilities.
The US military on Sunday morning provided additional details on the targets struck in the latest wave of airstrikes against Iran, according to a report by Yediot news. The targets include coastal surveillance installations, air defense systems, naval capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites. This follows the US military's announcement at 01:27 Jerusalem that it had completed the wave and struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps elements responsible for the attack on US soldiers in Jordan.
At 01:27 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the US military had confirmed the completion of the eighth consecutive night of strikes and had targeted IRGC forces behind the Jordan attack. The initial statement also mentioned the same target categories. The new statement, released later Sunday morning, provides a more detailed breakdown of the target categories but does not reference the Jordan attack.
The US has been conducting airstrikes against Iran since late June, as The Zioneer reported on July 17, when CENTCOM completed a significant wave of strikes hitting coastal surveillance, air defense, and naval capabilities. The campaign has included multiple consecutive nights of operations.
It remains unclear whether the IRGC elements cited in the earlier statement were among the targets hit in this wave, as the new statement does not mention them.
