Iranian reports describe explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas, the nuclear-related city of Bushehr, and the city of Shiraz, all in southern Iran. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet confirmed. The reports are based on unverified local sources.
The Zioneer has been tracking a series of explosions in southern Iran over recent weeks. Earlier today, the desk reported that the Iranian news agency Mehr confirmed explosions in Bushehr (14:39 Jerusalem), and separate explosions in Bandar Abbas were reported from exchanges of fire in the Strait of Hormuz (14:38). The current batch of reports add additional explosions in the same areas and for the first time in Shiraz. The cause of the latest explosions remains unclear, and no official Iranian confirmation has been provided. The reports come from a single source aggregating local Iranian media, and thus should be treated as unverified.
