A report circulating early Thursday says the US has stated it will attack Iran with heavy bombers. The statement comes amid an ongoing US aerial campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has already included multiple waves of strikes, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The timing and scope of the planned heavy bomber operation remain unclear.
A report circulating via security-focused channels early Thursday stated that the United States said it would attack Iran with heavy bombers. The specific source of the statement was not disclosed in the report, and no further details were provided about the timing or targets of the planned operation.
The US has been conducting a sustained air campaign against Iranian military targets since early June, hitting coastal surveillance sites, air defense systems, naval infrastructure, and inland facilities. As The Zioneer has reported, CENTCOM has completed multiple waves of strikes using fighter jets, drones, warships, and Tomahawk cruise missiles, with operations expanding to deeper targets in recent weeks. The mention of heavy bombers signals a potential escalation in the type of aircraft used, which have not been publicly confirmed in the campaign so far.
It remains unclear whether the statement reflects a planned new phase of operations or a specific imminent mission. No official confirmation from the Pentagon or CENTCOM has been reported at this time.
