🇺🇸🇮🇷 - Overnight, the United States launched another large-scale wave of strikes across Iran, nearly matching the intensity of the attacks conducted two nights earlier.

16 locations were targeted, including Suza, Ahvaz, Hamidiyeh, Nezebeh, Susangerd, Bandar Abbas, Bostanu, Khorramabad, Andimeshk, Khondab, Borujerd, Bandar-e Jask, Firuzabad, Yazd, Mehriz, and Khorramshahr. The campaign continued to expand both in scale and geographic reach, once again hitting targets in central and northwestern Iran.

The main target of the overnight attacks was the Khuzestan Province, where Ahvaz alone was hit at least 23 times. Nearby cities and towns, including Nezebeh, Khorramshahr, Hamidiyeh, and Susangerd, were also struck. U.S. attacks on Bandar Abbas caused temporary power outages in the northern districts of the city. Power has since been restored.

Rerum Novarum can also confirm that the U.S. employed a single B-1 Lancer bomber, which departed from RAF Fairford, to carry out a strike in the rural area of Mehriz, south of Yazd in central Iran. The target was likely an underground missile facility, as recent Iranian ballistic missile launches, particularly those directed towards Jordan, were launched from this area.
