Israeli journalist Assaf Rosenthal reports that Iranian sources say a Basij paramilitary fighter was killed overnight in the city of Mahshahr by shrapnel during US drone attacks. The report is unverified and details remain limited.
A single report from Israeli journalist Assaf Rosenthal, citing Iranian sources, states that a Basij fighter was killed in Mahshahr, Khuzestan province, from shrapnel during US drone strikes overnight. The Basij is a volunteer paramilitary force under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The report adds to a series of unverified claims this week about US drone operations in Iran. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Iran acknowledged that a Revolutionary Guard soldier was killed in a strike, and there were unconfirmed reports of casualties from US attacks. Earlier, a UAV was reportedly shot down over Bandar Abbas.
The credibility of this latest report remains unconfirmed, and no official Iranian or US statements have been issued.
