Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram additional strikes targeting Qeshm Island and the Ahvaz district in southern Iran, early Thursday. The source of the strikes and any damage or casualties are not yet reported.
Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram early Thursday morning that additional strikes were carried out against targets on Qeshm Island and in the Ahvaz district of southern Iran. The report, which emerged around 04:35 Jerusalem time, follows a series of explosions reported in the region earlier overnight.
The overnight sequence began at 03:12 Jerusalem, with initial reports of explosions in the city of Bushehr and on Qeshm Island. Shortly thereafter, Iranian state news agency Tasnim claimed that missiles had struck residential areas on Qeshm Island. Aviv's latest report expands the scope of the activity to include the Ahvaz district, which has been a target in previous U.S. strikes.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the United States has conducted multiple waves of strikes in southern Iran, targeting IRGC naval and coastal defense infrastructure on Qeshm Island and power grids in the Ahvaz area. The current operations are part of an ongoing campaign to degrade Iranian capabilities near the Strait of Hormuz.
The source of the latest strikes, the method of attack, and any casualties or damage remain unconfirmed. No official Iranian statement has been issued at this hour.
