US strikes deep inside Iran, Gulf under fire — reports

The United States carried out a strike deep inside the Islamic Republic overnight, according to a report circulated by Telegram channels. The Gulf region was also reported to be under fire. No further details or official confirmation were immediately available.

Overnight, reports emerged of fire in the Gulf region alongside ongoing US strikes deep inside Iran. The latest reports, which began surfacing around 00:08 Jerusalem, expand on earlier claims from the night, describing fire in the Gulf region as the strikes continue.

The Zioneer reported at 00:08 Jerusalem that Iranian social media channels were circulating unverified claims of significant strikes on strategic coastal cities. A second bulletin at the same timestamp noted that Iranian state media had reported new strikes and multiple explosions along the coastline. A third report, also at 00:08, cited a source claiming widespread US bombings on most of Iran's coastal areas along the Persian Gulf, with the source asserting that Iranian proof of the strikes exists.

The strikes come amid an ongoing US air campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported. President Trump has simultaneously signaled openness to negotiations, stating that Iran 'wants a deal' and has 'taken hits,' but has also expressed skepticism about Iranian commitment. The Zioneer reported on several such statements in recent weeks, including remarks on June 11 and June 10.

No official confirmation has been provided by the Pentagon or Iranian authorities. The specific targets, the extent of damage, and the overall scope of the operation remain unverified.
