An American official told The New York Times on Monday evening that a larger wave of US strikes against military targets in Iran is expected to take place tonight (US time). The report comes amid a sustained US air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, which President Trump has confirmed is continuing at a high operational tempo. As The Zioneer has reported, the US has conducted multiple waves of strikes over recent days, targeting air defenses, command centers, and other military sites, with the stated goal of degrading Iran's ability to threaten the region. The official's warning of a 'larger' wave suggests an intensification of the campaign. The exact scale and targets of the planned strikes remain unspecified, and the report is based on a single anonymous source.
