A deputy for political and security affairs in Iran's Bushehr Governorate confirmed that an area in the highlands of Dashti County was targeted. The announcement did not specify the nature of the attack, the target, or any casualties. Bushehr is a major energy hub, and southern Iran has been subject to reported strikes in recent days as part of the US-led Operation Epic Fury campaign.
This attack is the latest in a series of reported strikes on targets in southern Iran, which has seen multiple waves of attacks in recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier on June 10, an unconfirmed Iranian report alleged attacks in Bushehr. A subsequent report from June 10 at 22:11 UTC described multiple explosions in Bandar Abbas and on Qeshm Island, with sources claiming that air defense systems, radar arrays, and command-and-control units were being targeted. The current confirmation from a Bushehr official—naming the Dashti County highlands as the site of a strike—adds an on-record, albeit vague, admission from Iranian authorities. The Iranian state media has generally been silent on the scale and nature of the damage.
