๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” There was no reporting from local sources whatsoever regarding strikes on Iranian targets 40 miles away from Tehran.

The claim that USAF fighter jets operated above Tehran does not make sense given that strikes were conducted exclusively against Iranian military intrastructure on the Strait of Hormuz, of which Tehran is nowhere near and USAF jets would not need to operate from at all.

Trump's claims in an interview with Fox News are completely unfounded and probably false.

The only aircraft seen over Tehran was an Iranian military helicopter. There were no U.S. aircraft even nearby. The deepest U.S. fighter jets flew was over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, likely not even over mainland Iran.

Additionally, these strikes exclusively targeted Iranian navy, air defence, radar, and missile-related targets along the coastline of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. There were precisely zero airstrikes against areas deep inside Iran, let alone 40 miles away from Tehran.

Furthermore, Iranian media is now denying Trump spoke directly with Iranian officials. There is no way to verify if this is the case yet, however, so take obviously this with a grain of salt.

The WSJ also reported that Trump reached out to Iran via Qatari mediators, contradicting Trump's claim of speaking "directly" to Iranian officials.

In a new statement following American retaliatory airstrikes, Iran's Khatam al Anbiya Central Headquarters announced that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed to all vessels due to "insecurity in the region".
CENTCOM released a statement falsely claiming that the Strait of Hormuz is open.

Well, now we wait for the Iranian response.

Presumably, it will be carried out against U.S. bases in the Gulf States and/or Jordan.

CENTCOM's "fact checks" are one of the most unbelievably cringe things to ever come out of America.

It's supposedly a "fact check", but they are literally doing the EXACT SAME THING Iranian media, who they are trying to "debunk", is doing: making a fucking unverified claim.

Iran's Mehr News Agency announces that the first phase of the IRGC's retaliatory attacks against the U.S. has been carried out using missiles and drones.

While they did not state the target of these missiles and drones, it seems to have been U.S. bases in and around Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Initial and unconfirmed reports of 3 explosions in the city of Abyek, west of Tehran.

This happens to be almost exactly 40 miles from Tehran, which could mean that Trump made the claim of attacking targets "within 40 miles of Tehran" BEFORE those airstrikes even took place.
