The mayor of Bushehr confirmed that American attacks were carried out in areas of the city in the last minutes, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who posted the statement on X. No details on targets, damage, or casualties were immediately available.
The mayor of Bushehr confirmed at approximately 00:55 Jerusalem that US attacks had been carried out in the city, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who posted the statement on X. This development comes after hours of unverified reports that began Wednesday at 12:38 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported explosions in four Iranian cities including Bushehr. Over the following minutes, reports of additional explosions in Bushehr, Shiraz, and Mahshahr were published, all unconfirmed.
The thread's first report at 12:38 Jerusalem described explosions in Sirik, Bushehr, Chabahar, and Tabriz, followed by a version reporting two explosions in Bushehr, then fresh explosions, then explosions in Shiraz and Bushehr, and finally attacks in Mahshahr. All reports were based on unverified Iranian media accounts. The Zioneer's background coverage shows that Bushehr officials have made similar claims in recent weeks: on July 12, the governor said the US struck four areas; on July 15, the mayor said three points were attacked with no casualties; on July 17, the deputy governor said US missiles hit an air base and naval base. These prior claims have not been independently verified.
As The Zioneer reported on July 19, security analyst Yair Goldblatt has been a frequent source for such reports, including footage of the Shur bridge allegedly struck in US attacks. The pattern of Iranian officials attributing security incidents to the United States is well documented.
The mayor's statement did not specify targets, damage, or casualties. No independent verification of the attacks has been available. The Zioneer has not confirmed the nature of the explosions or the involvement of the United States.
