Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram early Thursday that footage attributed to attacks in Kermanshah province, western Iran, is circulating. The development follows initial reports from Wednesday at 11:26 Jerusalem of explosions and fighter jets heard in the city of Kermanshah, as previously covered by The Zioneer. The footage's authenticity and the timing of the purported attacks have not been independently verified, mirroring the unverified status of the earlier reports.
The thread on the Kermanshah incident began at 11:26 Jerusalem on Wednesday, July 22, when The Zioneer reported unverified accounts of explosions in the city. This was shortly updated to include reports of fighter jets heard overhead. Both reports relied on Israeli media and unofficial sources, with no official confirmation from Iranian authorities. The current update, citing Aviv, adds circulating footage but does not provide independent corroboration. The pattern of unverified visuals attributed to strikes across Iran has been ongoing, with similar reports from Qeshm Island (July 14), Ahvaz (July 17), and Tabriz (July 20), as reported by The Zioneer.
Chananel Aviv is an Israeli military analyst and intelligence reporter recognized for real-time coverage of regional security escalations, as noted in The Zioneer's topic page on him. His reports have often been among the first to surface unverified claims of attacks, contributing to a broader narrative of ongoing kinetic activity between Iran and U.S./Israeli forces. However, official confirmation remains absent.
Several key questions remain open. The exact cause of the explosions in Kermanshah, any casualties, and the source of the footage have not been determined. Iranian authorities have not commented. The footage's authenticity cannot be independently assessed at this time.
