Abu Saleh, the Arabic Desk analyst, reports that a US strike today killed Iranian military communications officer Lt. Col. Amir Mohammad Salmi, as part of a broader campaign targeting communication infrastructure. The claim is single-sourced and unverified.
Abu Saleh, an analyst known as the Arabic Desk, claimed that satellite imagery over the past 12 days shows the United States systematically destroying communication towers, electronic warfare systems, air defense systems, and other military infrastructure. In a separate attack today, he reports, the strike killed Lt. Col. Amir Mohammad Salmi, described as a soldier in the army's communications array.
The report is single-sourced and unverified. It comes as the US-Iran conflict continues to escalate. Earlier Thursday, satellite imagery documented the destruction of US troop accommodation at Kuwait's Ali Al Salem Air Base from Iranian strikes, as The Zioneer reported. The killing of a field-grade communications officer, if confirmed, would represent a significant escalation in the US campaign against Iranian military assets.
