Unverified reports indicate new US strikes on targets in the cities of Bushehr and Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, following hours of sustained American airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure. The reports are not yet confirmed by official sources.
Additional US strikes are being reported in the southern Iranian cities of Bushehr and Bandar Abbas as of 11:33 Jerusalem, according to unverified local reports. The reports follow a sustained sequence of reports earlier today in Bushehr, which began with initial unverified explosions at 01:45 Jerusalem and escalated through the morning. The new strikes come as the US military campaign against Iran continues, with reports now expanding to include Bandar Abbas for the first time in this thread.
The Zioneer's thread on the Bushehr strikes, all published at 01:45 Jerusalem, shows a clear progression: initial unverified reports of explosions (version 4), followed by additional explosions (versions 5–7), then reports of simultaneous missile fire toward Bahrain (version 8). An Iranian official claimed two military bases were hit (version 9); Fars News Agency reported strikes on two bases (version 10); an Iranian source confirmed to N12 that the US was behind the strikes (version 11); Iranian official sources confirmed the strikes (version 12); and opposition sources identified three specific IRGC targets in Bushehr (version 13). The reports have not been independently verified, and Iranian state media has not commented.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the broader US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. Earlier strikes on Bandar Abbas and Kish Island were reported on June 11 and June 28, as part of sustained US operations targeting air defenses and command centers (BACKGROUND context).
What remains open: The reports of additional strikes in Bushehr and Bandar Abbas remain unverified. No official confirmation from US or Iranian sources has been received. Details on the specific targets, damage, and casualties are not yet available.
