Approximately 150 targets have been struck in southern Iran, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy assets, drone launch sites, and military infrastructure, US sources cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt report. Claims circulating in Iran allege that Israel participated in the attack alongside the United States, though the claims have not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities.
US sources, cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, reported late Wednesday night that approximately 150 targets have been struck in southern Iran, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy assets, drone launch sites, and military infrastructure. The report comes minutes after US Central Command confirmed it was conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran, with a senior US official earlier telling Israeli media that the operations were broader than the previous night's attacks. Separately, claims circulating in Iran allege that Israel participated in the strike alongside the United States, though the claims have not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities.
The Zioneer has been tracking the escalation since 23:31 Jerusalem Wednesday, when Iranian media first confirmed a target struck in Bushehr. Within the same hour, additional explosions were reported, and unverified footage indicated more powerful strikes. A senior US official then described the operations as broader than the previous night, followed by CENTCOM officially confirming the strikes and launching a new wave. The current report from US sources provides the first specific target count of the night.
The strikes come amid an ongoing US-Iran conflict that has seen repeated exchanges. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, the IRGC claimed 85 US military targets destroyed in the region, though those claims remain unverified. Previous US strikes on southern Iran have targeted naval bases, air defenses, and missile batteries, with the current wave appearing significantly larger in scope.
The extent of damage and casualties from the strikes remains unclear. The claim that Israel participated in the attack has not been confirmed by any official Iranian or Israeli source, and should be treated with caution. The specific targets among the 150 reported have not been independently verified.
