A US official told Axios that American forces struck at least 100 targets in Iran last night, according to The Zioneer. The figure matches a projection by a senior US official Tuesday evening that the night's strikes could reach 100.
A US official told the Axios news website early Wednesday that American forces struck at least 100 targets inside Iran during the night, according to The Zioneer. The official did not specify the types of targets hit or provide a breakdown of locations.
The figure matches an assessment offered by a senior US official Tuesday evening, who told The Zioneer that the number of strikes that night could reach 100. That projection now appears to have been realized.
The new report comes amid a sustained US air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has included dozens of strikes over recent weeks. The Zioneer has documented multiple waves of strikes hitting air defenses, radar sites, and command centers across southern and central Iran, as well as strategic energy infrastructure in Abadan, Bushehr, and the islands of Qeshm and Kish. The cumulative number of targets struck over the campaign now exceeds several hundred, according to multiple US officials cited in earlier reports.
The precise extent of damage and the number of targets hit in this latest wave remain unconfirmed by independent sources. No statement from the Pentagon or US Central Command has been issued yet this morning.
