According to a Mako report published this morning, US strikes in southern Iran focused on air defense systems and radars, while Israel remained on alert alongside continuing diplomatic efforts.
The report said explosions were heard overnight between Saturday and Sunday in Qeshm, Jask, Sirik and Bandar Abbas. It described the strikes as a continuation of US attacks on military capabilities and systems threatening shipping. The suggestion that they could prepare the ground for another campaign is an assessment in the report, rather than an announcement of a decision to start a new war.
It also reported that US Central Command announced a task force targeting Iran's overland supply routes. Tehran stepped up threats against infrastructure and regarding longer-range fire; these are threats attributed to Iranian officials, rather than confirmation of a new capability being used.
Mediation efforts continue, and the report said substantial differences remain between Washington and Tehran. It did not announce an agreement or a confirmed date for another broad campaign.
