Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 21:44

TL;DR

A senior US official told Israeli journalist Barak Ravid (N12) that the US military did not carry out strikes in Iran in the last hours, according to the report. The claim is based on a single source and has not been independently corroborated.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A senior US official has denied that the US military carried out strikes in Iran in the last hours, according to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid (N12). The official's statement, reported Thursday evening, asserts that no American strikes were conducted in the recent timeframe.

The denial adds to a series of conflicting reports about US military operations against Iran that have emerged over recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on a range of claims: on June 10, a US official dismissed IRGC allegations of 21 attacks on US bases as 'completely untrue'; on June 11, a US official confirmed ongoing US strikes against Iran; and on June 28, Fox News reported that the strikes had concluded. These reports have come from various sources, often with limited corroboration.

The current report relies on a single source — a US official cited by Ravid — and has not been independently confirmed. Other outlets have not yet echoed the claim, and the situation remains fluid.
