Hananel Aviv reports additional explosions were heard in the Iranian port city of Bushehr. The cause and extent of the blasts are not yet clear.
Additional explosions were reported in the Iranian port city of Bushehr at 23:58 Jerusalem, according to Hananel Aviv, marking the latest in a series of blast reports across southern Iran tonight. The cause and extent of the blasts remain unclear.
The Zioneer first reported on an explosion at Konarak port and Lavan Island at 23:29 Jerusalem. At 23:47, reports emerged of strikes hitting the area near the Bushehr nuclear reactor, followed by claims that the reactor itself was struck directly, and then by Iranian sources alleging a new attack on the reactor site. At 23:51, renewed explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas, and at 23:57, power outages were reported in Chabahar. All reports are unverified and come from single sources.
The wave of explosions tonight follows a pattern of similar incidents in southern Iran over recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, explosion sounds were heard in Ahvaz. On June 11, multiple explosions were reported at Kangan port and near Sirik port. On June 28, fresh explosions were reported in southern Iran, per local sources. The context of ongoing US strikes in the region has been reported.
The cause of the Bushehr explosions and the other blasts tonight remains unknown. No casualties or damage have been confirmed. The reports rely on single unverified sources, and official Iranian confirmation has not been provided.
