An American official confirmed to journalist Barak Ravid that the U.S. military is actively striking targets in Iran, Ravid reported at 00:36 Jerusalem on Sunday. The confirmation came one minute after The Zioneer reported a Hebrew-language security source describing a pinpoint strike in southern Iran (00:34), and follows earlier reports from Friday night. At 23:13 Friday, a senior U.S. official told Ravid that strikes were targeting Iranian infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz, while CENTCOM confirmed it struck drone and missile storage facilities and radar installations in response to an Iranian attack on a merchant ship. Earlier Friday, President Trump had hinted at a response — "you'll find out" — as unverified reports emerged of explosions in several Iranian cities from a single Hebrew-language source. By 23:55 Friday, Fox News reported the strikes were ongoing, citing American officials. The 00:36 confirmation elevates the reporting from a single anonymous source to an attributed U.S. official, though the official's identity and specific targets remain undisclosed. Iranian state media had not commented by the time of this bulletin.
