A telecom tower near Sirik, southern Iran, was hit again, according to two videos recently published by US Central Command. The videos appear to show the tower as a target. The extent of damage is not specified in the release.
A new video from US Central Command's the source confirms a second strike on the telecommunications tower near Sirik, southern Iran — the first time the US military has publicly acknowledged targeting the facility. The footage was released hours after The Zioneer reported the initial wave of attacks early Sunday (00:33 Jerusalem), where Iranian sources described multiple hits on the same tower. The earlier reports were published in rapid succession at 00:33 Jerusalem: first an unverified Hebrew-language security source reported a pinpoint US strike in southern Iran; minutes later, Iranian sources confirmed the tower was hit, followed by a third bulletin specifying multiple additional hits. By 00:48 Jerusalem, The Zioneer had classified the strikes as US operations based on local reporting. The new CENTCOM video now provides official confirmation of the targeting.
The Sirik tower is part of Iran's critical communications infrastructure along the Gulf coast, an area that has seen sustained US military attention in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday June 10 (22:25 Jerusalem), US Central Command convened its headquarters staff — a move that preceded a series of reported operations against Iranian-linked assets. Background context shows this strike fits a pattern of activity: on June 10, The Zioneer covered reports of a Shahed drone over Iraq, claimed drone interceptions by Shiite sources, and an apparent attack on a remote US base in Jordan. Communications and command-and-control facilities were reported among targets struck in Iran on June 10 (06:37 Jerusalem).
What remains open: the exact timing of the second strike is not given in the CENTCOM footage, nor is the extent of damage to the tower. No US statement accompanies the video release, and independent verification of the strike's effects is still unavailable. Earlier unverified claims — such as reported casualties in a strike cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt on June 19 (02:56 Jerusalem) — remain without official corroboration.
