The US military's strikes against targets in Iran are ongoing, with the operation now exceeding one hour, according to reports. The fresh wave of attacks follows sustained US bombing of Iranian military infrastructure in recent days, as The Zioneer has reported.
At 01:42 Jerusalem, reports indicate that US military strikes against Iranian targets have continued for over an hour, aligning with earlier assessments. The Washington Post reported at 01:22 Jerusalem, citing CENTCOM, that the operation could extend for hours.
The night's activity began with a series of reports at 00:07 Jerusalem. The Zioneer reported initial unconfirmed strikes on the Iranian Air Force's 9th Tactical Airbase in Bandar Abbas, followed by smoke columns at the base. Subsequent reports detailed strikes at Shahid Rajaei Port, intensifying attacks in the Bandar Abbas area, and footage attributed to the strikes from security analyst Yair Goldblatt and Iranian opposition sources. Additional explosions were reported near Sirik and Qeshm islands, with Goldblatt assessing the strikes as stronger than usual. A summary at 00:07 Jerusalem stated that the strikes hit IRGC Navy sites, air defense systems, and ports across southern Iran.
The current strikes are part of the broader US campaign, 'Operation Epic Fury,' which has seen multiple nights of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, including air defense systems, naval facilities, and command centers, as The Zioneer has reported over the past days. The operation follows sustained US bombing, including a wave of Tomahawk missile strikes, and President Trump's threats of renewed bombing if no deal is reached.
The current report of the operation exceeding one hour comes from a single source, and its scope and targets remain unconfirmed. Casualties and damage have not been reported. Further details on the extent of the ongoing strikes are awaited.
