The United States military has reportedly renewed airstrikes against Iran after a pause of nearly a week, according to reports. Iranian media report attacks in Sirik city (Hormozgan province) and Fars province. The strikes mark a resumption of the US air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure.
The United States resumed airstrikes against Iran early Thursday after a pause of nearly a week, with U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) officially confirming a new wave of operations at 00:48 Jerusalem. The resumption follows a six-day operational pause, as CENTCOM noted. Iranian media subsequently reported strikes in the city of Sirik (Hormozgan province) and Fars province, with the reports first emerging around 02:28 Jerusalem, when a U.S. official confirmed to Axios that airstrikes were underway inside Iran, as The Zioneer reported.
The Zioneer first reported the initial wave of strikes at 00:48 Jerusalem, followed by CENTCOM's confirmation at the same time. The current update adds specific locations: Sirik, which has been a target of previous American strikes — on June 11, The Zioneer reported that the IRGC naval base in Sirik was hit and continued to burn, and on July 18, unverified reports indicated airstrikes near Sirik. The new strikes also hit Fars province, expanding the geographic scope of the campaign.
The broader American air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure has been ongoing since early July, with The Zioneer reporting on multiple waves of strikes, including operations targeting petrochemical plants, naval bases, and air defense systems. The Zioneer previously reported on July 14 and July 22 that the U.S. military launched new waves of strikes, and on July 23, strikes followed President Trump's threats against Iranian power plants.
Details on specific targets, damage, and casualties in the latest strikes remain unverified. It is also unclear whether this wave represents a single operation or the beginning of a sustained renewed campaign.
