The US military struck Iranian targets for the 13th consecutive night, according to reports. Tehran reportedly rejected a ceasefire proposal from President Trump delivered via Iraq's prime minister. Iranian officials threatened to strike Tel Aviv if the US expands fighting, and Trump warned that any damage to US ships would be paid with Iranian money.
The United States carried out its 13th consecutive night of airstrikes on Iran — concentrating on the Strait of Hormuz and expanding to four new provinces — while fresh reports this morning indicate that Tehran has rejected a ceasefire proposal transmitted by President Trump via Iraq's Prime Minister. Iranian officials have warned that any expansion of US operations would trigger a retaliatory strike on Tel Aviv. President Trump, in a statement, warned that any damage to US ships would be compensated with Iranian funds.
The 13th night of strikes was first reported at 02:15 Jerusalem, with CENTCOM confirming it struck military command centers, UAV storage facilities, communication networks, radar sites, and naval capabilities. By 02:15, reports detailed dozens of attacks in Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island, with B-1 bombers reportedly involved. The strikes later expanded to Khorramabad and the provinces of Isfahan, Yazd, and Fars, and air defense systems were activated in Tehran. As The Zioneer reported at 07:02 Jerusalem, unverified accounts indicated strikes near Tehran and warnings of escalation. This morning's update adds the diplomatic dimension — the reported rejection of the ceasefire — alongside renewed threats from both sides.
The campaign, which President Trump announced in late June with strikes on missile depots and radar sites, has now reached 13 consecutive nights, making it the longest sustained US air operation against Iran. The military has said over 50,000 US service members remain deployed across the Middle East, and the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial shipping.
The ceasefire rejection and the threats to Tel Aviv have been reported by regional media but have not been officially confirmed by the White House or the Iranian government. The precise terms of the proposal and the nature of the Iranian response remain unverified.
