The New York Times reports, citing a US official, that the number of US strikes on Iran overnight was lower than the previous night, when 140 strikes were conducted. The official did not provide a specific count for tonight's strikes. The report comes as the US aerial campaign against Iranian military targets continues.
Overnight, the United States conducted strikes in Iran, but a US official told The New York Times that the number of strikes was lower than the previous night's 140. The precise figure was not disclosed.
The report comes hours after The Zioneer reported early Monday, citing the same outlet, that a US official had predicted a larger wave of strikes would be carried out tonight. The current assessment suggests the actual operation was more limited.
The US aerial campaign against Iranian military targets has been ongoing for weeks. Earlier this month, The Zioneer reported that US forces had struck more than 170 military targets across Iran over two days, according to American officials. The pace and intensity of the campaign have varied from night to night.
