The US military struck targets in Iran overnight with 49 Tomahawk cruise missiles, according to reports. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded by stating its operations will continue as long as the enemy persists with its aggressive actions. This update follows a thread of reports from earlier tonight: At 02:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported CENTCOM confirmed the launch of 49 Tomahawks and that the Karaj area west of Tehran was targeted for the first time. Earlier in the same minute, we reported President Trump told Fox News that 49 Tomahawk missiles were fired, that Iran had contacted him requesting a halt to the strikes, and explicitly denied Israeli involvement — a claim Tehran later denied. At 02:24, we also reported the IRGC retaliated by attacking American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The thread has seen corroboration evolve from single-source reports — initially Trump's own statements — to official CENTCOM confirmation and Iranian denials of contact. As The Zioneer reported on June 7, tensions reached a critical inflection point with an Iranian barrage targeting central Israel. A large US air movement was observed Wednesday evening, suggesting a fresh wave was imminent. The IRGC's vow to continue operations as long as 'the enemy' persists signals that Tehran does not intend to de-escalate. No immediate reports on damage or casualties are available. The precise scale of damage from the Tomahawk strikes and whether any US bases in Kuwait or Bahrain were hit remains unverified.
