The Arabic-language Abu Saleh Desk published an updated list of nine locations in southern Iran where US airstrikes were reported overnight, including Khorramshahr, Abadan, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island. Explosions were also reported in Kish Island, Arondkanar, and Shadegan. The report is based on a single source and remains unverified.
The Abu Saleh Desk, an Arabic-language security analysis channel, published an updated list early Thursday morning of nine locations in southern Iran reportedly struck by US airstrikes overnight. The locations span Khuzestan, Hormozgan, Fars, and Bushehr provinces, including the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, as well as Qeshm Island. Explosions were also reported in Kish Island, Arondkanar, and Shadegan, though the list may not be exhaustive.
The new report follows a sequence of unverified reports The Zioneer has tracked since the early hours of Thursday. At 03:06 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published an initial report of an unverified claim that a US HIMARS missile struck Iran's Kish Island. Shortly after, at the same time, an update cited Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, which reported that local authorities confirmed two powerful explosions were heard on Kish Island at 03:02 Jerusalem. The Abu Saleh Desk list now expands the scope of the reported overnight strikes to nine locations, though it remains based on a single source and unverified by independent outlets.
As The Zioneer has reported, the overnight strikes are part of a broader campaign of US airstrikes on Iranian military targets that has been ongoing since late June. Previous waves have struck air defense systems and command centers in Hormozgan and Khuzestan provinces, with reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Bushehr. A US official confirmed to Fox News that strikes against Iran were ongoing, as The Zioneer reported at 02:16 Jerusalem on June 11.
The extent of damage and any casualties from the overnight strikes remain unknown. The Abu Saleh Desk list is based on a single source and has not been independently confirmed. No official US or Iranian response has been issued regarding the specific locations listed.
