01 · THE DISPATCH

US military strikes have been reported in Markazi province in central Iran, according to Iranian state media, marking a potential expansion of the American air campaign deeper into the country. An assessment suggests the attacks are broader in scope and hitting targets further inland than in recent days, indicating a possible escalation of operational tempo.

The Zioneer reported at 01:28 that an assessment indicated the US was broadening its strikes in scope and depth. The new reports from Iranian state media appear to confirm that trend, with strikes now reaching central Iran.

The US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure has been ongoing for weeks, with previous strikes focused on coastal and southern provinces as well as inland military sites, as The Zioneer has covered. The strikes are part of a sustained American response to what the Pentagon describes as continued Iranian aggression.
