A senior US official has provided the most comprehensive list to date of target categories struck in the ongoing American military campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. Speaking to journalist Barak Ravid, the official said the targets included air defense systems, coastal surveillance systems, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship cruise missile launch sites, drone launch sites, and Iranian port facilities.

The official's remarks add detail to earlier reports, though the full extent of damage and the number of targets struck remain unconfirmed.
