An Iranian source reported that the US has launched a new wave of strikes on Iran, claiming the death toll among Iranian military personnel is significantly higher than officially reported. The report could not be independently verified.
On Wednesday evening, the US military announced a series of strikes on Iran, with three waves confirmed by 22:27 Jerusalem time, as The Zioneer reported. Reports also indicated strikes concentrated in Ahvaz and coastal areas, preceded by launches toward the US embassy in Erbil, Iraq, and from Iran toward US targets in Bahrain. Now, on Thursday evening, an Iranian source cited via the source claims that the US has launched a new wave of strikes and that the death toll among Iranian military personnel is significantly higher than officially reported. The report is unverified.
The earliest report in this thread, published Wednesday at 15:55 Jerusalem, was a single unverified claim that US forces destroyed the 92nd Armored Division in Ahvaz. By 22:17, the US military confirmed a new wave of strikes; by 22:27, a third wave was announced. The thread evolved from unconfirmed claims to official US confirmation of multiple waves, while Iranian sources reported explosions near the 92nd Division headquarters and in the Rasak district. Background items from The Zioneer’s broader coverage show that on July 9, Iran’s Health Ministry reported 14 killed and 78 wounded across five provinces from earlier strikes. On July 15, Iranian state TV reported seven soldiers killed, and the Iranian government spokesperson claimed 30 civilians killed. The US military confirmed striking over 170 targets in two nights earlier in the campaign.
The new claim, if accurate, would mark a continuation of the campaign, but it remains unattributed beyond a single Iranian source. The extent of the alleged strikes, the targets, and the casualty figures are unconfirmed. Independent verification is not yet available.
