Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram footage attributed to an earlier attack in the Ahvaz district of southwestern Iran, noting that windows shook according to Iranian sources. The timing of the filmed attack was not specified and the claim has not been independently verified.
Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported early Thursday footage attributed to an earlier attack in the Ahvaz district of southwestern Iran, stating that windows shook according to Iranian sources. The report comes after a series of strikes in southern Iran that The Zioneer has been tracking since 03:37 Jerusalem, including attacks on Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and additional locations in Ahvaz province. Aviv specified that the footage is attributed to an earlier attack, distinguishing it from the more recent wave of strikes reported overnight.
The thread of reports began at 03:37 Jerusalem, when Iranian media first reported an attack on an IRGC target on Qeshm Island. The deputy governor of Hormozgan province then confirmed U.S. airstrikes near the island. Iranian channels subsequently reported power outages and earthquake-like sensations in Qeshm and Ahvaz due to damage to electrical infrastructure. Shortly after, Aviv reported additional ongoing strikes in Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island. The current footage is attributed to an earlier attack, not the most recent wave.
As The Zioneer reported on July 13, Ahvaz and the broader Khuzestan province have been a recurring focus of the U.S. air campaign, with reports of damaged power lines and infrastructure. Aviv, a security analyst tracked by The Zioneer since late June, has frequently provided attributed footage and updates from Iranian sources throughout the conflict.
The authenticity and exact timing of the footage have not been independently verified. The source of the attack depicted in the footage remains unspecified, and no information on casualties or damage has been released.
