Footage circulating Sunday morning reportedly shows the US military striking 10 Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz. The source of the video has not been independently confirmed; it follows a series of exchanges in the region, with prior Zioneer reporting documenting US operations against IRGC infrastructure there since early June.
A video circulating from approximately 03:39 Jerusalem time on Sunday purports to show US strikes against 10 Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz area. The footage, whose origin and authenticity are unverified, shows aerial views of multiple explosions but includes no timestamp or geolocation data. This release is the latest in a sequence of rapid developments The Zioneer has tracked since just after midnight.
Earlier Sunday, at 00:17 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported unverified explosion sounds near Sirik port (versions 2-3), followed by reports of drone activity off Sirik (v.8), and then a series of escalating claims: unverified reports an IRGC naval base was under attack (v.9), approximately five strikes near the village of Taheruyi targeting that base and radar installations (v.10), and then confirmation from a senior US official that the US military was actively striking Iranian targets in the area (v.11). By 00:17, a second strike on a Sirik telecommunications tower was reported (v.12). The source quality evolved from unverified Iranian media and an analyst note to an on-the-record US official.
The Zioneer has documented US operations against IRGC naval hubs in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Sirik since June, following a pattern of Iranian drone threats against Hormuz shipping lanes (Jun 7 intercept), and the IRGC has threatened retaliation (Jun 10). A senior US official confirmed the campaign continued on June 26. The video's release coincides with this sustained US kinetic activity.
Whether the 10 targets shown in the video correspond to any of the attacks tracked overnight—or represent a separate, additional volley—remains unclear. The footage lacks any geolocation or temporal signature that would allow independent verification against the reported timeline of strikes.
