Unverified reports early Wednesday claim explosions occurred at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran. The single-source report, originating from the source, does not specify the cause or whether the facility itself was damaged.
The Zioneer has previously reported on several incidents near the Bushehr plant over the past weeks. On July 9, a single-source report claimed a US strike hit the vicinity of the plant. On July 8, Iranian state media acknowledged a second wave of blasts near the site. Earlier, on June 23, the governor of Bushehr Province announced a planned test of air defense systems near the plant. A June 10 report described an explosion in the city of Jam, also in Bushehr Province.
The current report remains unconfirmed, and independent verification is pending.
