The governor of Iran's Bushehr province, Mohammad Mozaffari, stated that the city was hit by two U.S. airstrikes minutes ago. No casualties have been reported and the extent of the attacks is under investigation.
The governor of Iran's Bushehr province, Mohammad Mozaffari, confirmed Monday morning that the city of Bushehr was struck by two U.S. airstrikes minutes earlier, with no casualties reported and damage assessment ongoing. The statement, the first official Iranian confirmation of the day's reported attacks, follows more than seven hours of unverified reports of explosions and strikes in the area.
Early Monday, beginning at 02:54 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a series of unverified claims: analyst Yair Goldblatt reported missile warehouses struck in Bushehr; explosions were said to be continuing; further explosions were reported in Hormozgan and Bushehr; Iranian sources attributed the blasts to U.S. strikes; and Iranian media outlets reported fresh, ongoing attacks in the region. At 09:30 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported unverified U.S. strikes on multiple targets across Iran. The governor's confirmation now partially corroborates that earlier reporting for Bushehr, though it remains a single-source account.
Bushehr, a strategic port and industrial hub on the Persian Gulf, has been a frequent target in the recent U.S. military campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The desk has covered multiple strikes on the city and province over the past two weeks, including reports of attacks on air and naval bases and a general's statement on July 12 that four areas were struck overnight. The city hosts a nuclear power plant, naval bases, and IRGC facilities, though the governor did not specify which sites were hit in today's attacks.
No independent confirmation of the strikes has emerged, and the extent of damage or casualties remains unverified. The U.S. has not commented on the reported strikes. The situation is developing.
