US airstrikes on Iranian targets have intensified, focusing on the southern coastal cities of Konarak, Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Chabahar near the Strait of Hormuz, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt.

The US military has escalated its air campaign against Iranian targets, with a new wave of strikes reportedly concentrating on the southern coastal region near the Strait of Hormuz. According to security analyst Yair Goldblatt, the strikes have targeted the cities of Konarak, Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Chabahar in southern Iran. Goldblatt noted that the current strikes appear more intense than previous rounds.
Unverified reports from Iranian social media also describe explosions heard in the central cities of Shiraz and Isfahan, though these claims have not been independently confirmed. The strikes come amid a period of heightened US military posture and repeated warnings from President Trump, who has vowed that Iran will 'pay several times over' for any American casualties. The Zioneer has previously reported on the administration's stated policy of sustained pressure on Iran following violations of the memorandum of understanding and incidents in the Strait of Hormuz.
The situation remains fluid, with no official confirmation from US or Iranian sources on the scope of the current strikes.
